Old Elthamians' Charitable Trust
About This Funder
The Old Elthamians' Charitable Trust, incorporated in 2012 as a modernisation of the 1907-founded Old Elthamians Association, supports Eltham College (historically the School for the Sons of Missionaries) and its global alumni network. Its mission advances education worldwide—prioritising pupils and former pupils—while aiding the school and promoting healthy recreation through amateur sports facilities, mainly in London's Bromley, Lewisham, and Greenwich boroughs. Rooted in community spirit, academic enrichment, and sporting wellbeing, the Trust fosters alumni cohesion and lasting impact via targeted grants.
It funds educational bursaries, school programmes, student resources, and capital projects for Eltham College, alongside sports development for linked amateur clubs and local communities. Beneficiaries are primarily current/former students, the school, and Elthamian-connected groups, emphasising initiatives that build skills, engagement, and opportunities with direct ties to the College.
Eligibility favours entities connected to Eltham College; no restrictions on legal status, income, or geography for education (worldwide with links), but sports focus locally. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—funding is trustee-discretionary, coordinated via school/alumni channels, without public forms, deadlines, or grant ranges disclosed (past support includes bursaries and facilities).
Distinctively alumni-centric, it excludes unrelated charities, general projects, or unrestricted grants, prioritising transformative education/sport for the Elthamian community over broad philanthropy.
