The Nineteen Eighty Nine Charitable Trust, established in 2007, is a private grantmaking trust with a mission to relieve poverty, sickness, and distress; advance education, especially for physically and mentally disabled persons; and address barriers from ill-health, disability, and educational disadvantage. Operating with a generalist ethos, it emphasises social welfare and public benefit. Rather than delivering direct services, the trust prefers to provide financial or practical support to other organisations that create significant community impact. It is a discreet and proactive funder, working through trustee-led selection.
