The Jeremy and John Sacher Charitable Trust is a family-founded discretionary grantmaker supporting registered UK charities with flexible funding. Guided by trustees' absolute discretion, the Trust values responsiveness to emerging charitable needs, equity in public access, and a balanced approach that invests in both national institutions and grassroots initiatives. They believe sustainable change comes from empowering organisations with operational freedom and resources to address root causes of cultural, health, educational, and social disconnection.

The Trust prioritises broad thematic areas including arts and culture through support for orchestras, galleries, museums, and music education programmes; heritage preservation; child mental health services such as therapeutic counselling and trauma-informed interventions; education initiatives like music training and skills development for disadvantaged youth; and welfare projects tackling social isolation, family support, carer respite, poverty, and homelessness. They fund capital projects, core costs, therapeutic activities, and employment training via arts apprenticeships. Funding is limited to the United Kingdom, with areas of operation throughout London.
