Man Group PLC Charitable Trust

The Trust funds charitable organisations that raise levels of education in the UK. Under the Community Programme, it supports work in seven London boroughs: Greenwich, Hackney, Lambeth, Lewisham, Newham, Southwark, and Tower Hamlets. The Strategic Partnership Programme extends this focus UK-wide. The Trust supports education-related activities, including those that build skills and improve life chances, though specific themes such as literacy and numeracy are not detailed in the sources. Grants are directed to organisations based in the same areas where the work takes place, with a local focus for the Community Programme and a national scope for the Strategic Partnership Programme.

Registered charities and community groups are eligible to apply. The Trust gives priority to organisations with a modest annual income, reflecting its emphasis on smaller charities. Applicants must be based in the areas where the work happens: for the Community Programme, this means one of the seven London boroughs listed above; for the Strategic Partnership Programme, the UK. The Trust does not fund individuals, profit-making enterprises or commercial ventures, or statutory organisations. There is no religious restriction.

The Trust does not fund individuals, profit-making enterprises or commercial ventures, or statutory organisations. It also excludes retrospective costs and political or religious activities. These exclusions apply across both grant programmes.

The Trust runs two distinct grant programmes. The Community Programme accepts applications on a rolling basis, with priority given to smaller organisations. The Strategic Partnership Programme operates by invitation only or direct negotiation. The Trust's funding style reflects its values of measurable impact and strong financial management, though specific details on grant types, such as core costs or project funding, are not stated in the sources.
