Kobler Trust

The Kobler Trust prioritises small grants for arts and culture, children and young people, hospices, Jewish causes and heritage, and social welfare initiatives including education, health, and community support. Funding covers project costs, core activities, and general charitable work. The Trust favours vulnerable communities, youth, and grassroots efforts. It operates throughout England and Wales, supporting charities that align with its broad mission. The Trust is responsive to evolving needs and supports a wide variety of charitable activities within its priority areas, particularly work that benefits vulnerable groups and strengthens communities.

Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities, with a preference for smaller organisations operating anywhere in England and Wales. No strict income limits or religious restrictions apply. The Trust prioritises charities working with vulnerable communities, youth, and grassroots initiatives. Applications are accepted from registered charities and community groups.

The Kobler Trust does not fund large capital projects, multi-year commitments, or organisations based outside the United Kingdom. The Trust focuses on modest, one-off grants and does not support major infrastructure or ongoing programmes. Funding is limited to registered charities, so individuals, non-charitable groups, and unregistered organisations are not eligible. The trustees also avoid commitments that fall outside the broad charitable purposes they have discretion to determine.

The Trust welcomes unsolicited applications and funds both project costs and core activities. Its grant-making is modest, discretionary, and low-bureaucracy, reflecting a flexible approach to supporting charities. The Trust operates by consensus among trustees and values stewardship of its investment portfolio.
