kolyomtrust.org.ukAbout Kolyom Trust Limited
Kolyom Trust Limited is a UK-registered charity established in 2004 and based in Salford, Greater Manchester. It operates as a donor-advised fund, receiving irrevocable donations from individuals and companies and channelling grants to charities nominated by donors. The Trust's model is built on flexibility, compliance, and donor empowerment, ensuring all distributions are wholly charitable under English law. The Trust funds a broad spectrum of charitable activities shaped entirely by donor requests, including education, healthcare, poverty relief, religious initiatives, and community development. Grants support UK-registered charities and international equivalents, covering project work, core costs, or unrestricted needs for organisations of all sizes, with a geographic focus that can extend worldwide. Kolyom does not accept unsolicited applications; charities must be nominated by an existing donor. It is a responsive conduit for directed giving rather than a strategic funder, and it excludes non-charitable purposes or private benefits.
What Kolyom Trust Limited funds
The Trust funds a wide range of charitable activities determined by donor preferences, including education, healthcare, poverty relief, religious initiatives, and community development. Grants can support project work, core costs, or unrestricted needs for organisations of any size, from grassroots groups to large entities. The geographic focus can extend worldwide, provided the recipient meets charitable criteria. The Trust does not impose thematic restrictions, so the causes funded reflect the interests of its donors.
Who can apply
Kolyom Trust supports UK-registered charities and international equivalents with recognised charitable status. Organisations of all sizes, including community groups, are eligible, but they must be nominated by an existing donor with an account.
