Miss V L Clore's 1967 Charitable Trust is a generalist grant-maker established in 1967 by philanthropist Miss Vivien Louise Clore. Operating as a family philanthropy legacy, the Trust distributes investment income at the trustees' absolute discretion to UK charities across a broad range of causes. It emphasises responsible stewardship and capital preservation, with ties to the Clore Duffield Foundation. The Trust's funding character is donor-driven and discretionary, without fixed themes, reflecting its founding ethos of broad charitable support.

It operates across the whole of the UK, funding registered charities in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
