The Moette Charitable Trust is an independent UK grant-making charity established in 1998. Governed by a small trustee board, it emphasises financial probity, integrity and stewardship. The Trust takes a quietly generalist approach, relying on trustee discretion to channel flexible, unrestricted support without thematic constraints, strategic plans or public impact reporting. Its mission is to distribute donations and investment income to poor and needy individuals and charitable institutions for general charitable purposes, prioritising poverty relief and the needs of vulnerable people and communities.
What Moette Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds a broad spectrum of socially beneficial work, with a particular focus on poverty relief and support for vulnerable people, including those of particular ethnic or racial origins. Grants are typically for core operational aid and unrestricted general purposes, with no fixed causes or projects. This allows trustees to respond to perceived needs across various beneficiary groups. The Trust operates UK-wide without geographic sub-restrictions, supporting charities wherever they are based.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities based in the UK. There are no income size limits or geographic sub-restrictions within the UK. The Trust prioritises organisations working to relieve poverty and support vulnerable people, including those from ethnic minority communities. It does not accept unsolicited applications; charities are pre-selected internally by the trustees.
What Moette Charitable Trust doesn't fund
