register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Monatrea Charitable Trust
The Monatrea Charitable Trust is a UK-registered charity established in 2009, pursuing general charitable purposes across England and Wales. It operates as a generalist funder with a small board of four trustees, emphasising trustee-led decisions over fixed strategies. Without a public website or published plans, the trust relies on personal networks and proactive identification of needs to make flexible grants for public benefit. The trust values robust governance through Charity Commission-compliant policies. Its distinctive invitation-only model means unsolicited applications are not accepted, and decisions are made by the trustees based on their own assessment of needs. This approach allows the trust to support a broad range of charitable activities without being constrained by strategic priorities.
What Monatrea Charitable Trust funds
The trust funds a wide spectrum of charitable activities across England and Wales. It supports both project costs and unrestricted core costs, allowing organisations flexibility in how they use grants. The trust does not restrict funding to specific causes, beneficiary groups, or sectors, so it can support anything from education to heritage to social welfare. It also makes grants to individuals for charitable purposes. The trust considers organisations of all sizes, without income thresholds, and the practical support is determined by trustee discretion rather than geographic priorities. The trustees use their own knowledge and networks to identify need, so funding can be directed to a variety of initiatives that provide public benefit.
Who can apply
Eligibility is limited to UK-registered charities and individuals. The trust does not impose income thresholds or organisational size limits, so small, medium, and large charities can all be considered. There are no restrictions on the beneficiary groups served; the trust supports any charitable purpose that benefits the public within England and Wales. The trust does not accept unsolicited applications, so organisations must be approached by the trustees or have a direct connection. Charities must be based in the UK and carry out their work in England or Wales. Being known to the trustees is a practical requirement for consideration.
What Monatrea Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The trust does not fund activities outside England and Wales. It also does not fund organisations that are not UK-registered charities, although it does make grants to individuals. There are no other exclusions by cause, sector, or beneficiary group – the trust considers any charitable work that falls within its general charitable purpose.
How they like to fund
The trust operates on an invitation-only basis, meaning it does not accept unsolicited applications. It provides both project funding and unrestricted core support, giving recipients flexibility in how to use the funds. Grant-making decisions are made by the trustees based on their own discretion and the needs they identify through personal networks. The trust does not have advertised funding rounds, forms, or public processes, and its trustee-driven approach allows for responsive and adaptable support.
