The JG Charitable Trust, established in 1983, is a grant-making charity supporting general charitable purposes across England and Wales. It values transparency, accountability, and prudent financial management. The Trust takes a generalist approach, offering broad and flexible support without narrow thematic restrictions. It prefers to fund in a straightforward, trustee-led manner, with no online portals or preliminary enquiries required. The Trust funds a wide range of charitable activities, including project work, core costs, and unrestricted grants to both organisations and individuals. It prioritises accessible support for grassroots efforts serving people and communities, from small voluntary groups to larger institutions.
What JG Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds a wide range of charitable activities that align with charitable law and demonstrate community benefit. It supports project work, core costs, and unrestricted grants to both organisations and individuals. There are no limits on specific causes or beneficiary groups, as long as the work serves people and communities. The Trust prioritises grassroots efforts, from small voluntary groups to larger institutions. Its funding is available throughout England and Wales.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants include UK-registered charities, constituted community groups, and individuals operating in England and Wales. There are no income thresholds or religious restrictions. The Trust prioritises accessible support for grassroots efforts, so smaller voluntary groups are especially welcome. Unsolicited applications are accepted, and the Trust welcomes both organisations and individuals as long as the work is charitable and benefits the community.
What JG Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund trading subsidiaries or trustee remuneration. It also does not provide feedback on unsuccessful applications. Funding is limited to activities that align with charitable law and demonstrate community benefit, which effectively excludes any non-charitable purposes. The Trust's generalist approach means it does not impose cause or beneficiary restrictions beyond those legal requirements.
How they like to fund
The Trust offers flexible funding that can cover project work, core costs, or be given as unrestricted grants. It operates a straightforward, trustee-led process with no online portals or preliminary enquiries required. Unsolicited applications are accepted, and the Trust prefers to keep its approach simple and accessible. The Trust funds both organisations and individuals directly.
