Jectus Charitable Foundation

The Jectus Charitable Foundation, a UK-based grant-making trust established by deed on 17 February 2017, focuses exclusively on charitable objects in England and Wales, with a distinctive tri-focus on advancing children's welfare and education, promoting arts participation and access, and supporting health initiatives for vulnerable populations. Guided by trustees who exercise broad discretion to maximize public benefit, the foundation embodies a flexible, responsive ethos that prioritizes direct impact through grants to charities and voluntary bodies, drawing on both income and capital to address urgent needs without rigid thematic boundaries.

It funds a diverse array of activities, including project work, core costs, unrestricted support, organizational development, capital investments, and emergency responses aligned to its core domains—benefiting children and young people, artists and cultural organizations, and health-focused groups. There are no specified exclusions beyond legal charitable requirements, and it welcomes interventions that demonstrate clear relevance and measurable outcomes in these areas.

Eligible applicants include UK-registered charities and community groups operating throughout England and Wales, with no income thresholds, size limits, or religious restrictions—making it accessible to grassroots, small, and medium organizations. Applications are unsolicited and submitted via email or post (no formal form), outlining activities, needs, impact, and providing governance/financial documents; rolling basis with quarterly trustee meetings in March, June, September, and December—submit at least six weeks prior for 2-4 month decisions. Typical grants range from £5,000 to £40,000, reflecting trustee-led discretion in a landscape where its open, multi-domain approach stands out for broad accessibility and adaptability.
