P a R Charitable Trust

The P a R Charitable Trust is an independent, trustee-led grantmaking charity registered in England and Wales (number 1010358), established to steward a substantial endowment for charitable impact while balancing current distributions with long-term sustainability. With no official website or public branding, it embodies a traditional, discreet family-trust style, prioritizing prudent resource management and trustee discretion in selecting UK-based recipients, particularly children's hospices, though its remit spans general charitable causes without narrow thematic limits.

It funds a broad array of UK charities, with a stated priority for children's hospices and similar service-delivery organizations, supporting project work, core costs, capital needs, and revenue expenses to enable operational, developmental, or infrastructural activities. Grants go exclusively to established institutions rather than individuals or unproven entities, emphasizing continuity for medium-to-large charities delivering direct community benefits.

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities operating within the UK—no geographic sub-restrictions apply, though England features prominently—and invitations are required, as unsolicited applications are not accepted. There are no formal income thresholds, but preference leans toward organizations of significant scale.

Typical grants range from £10,000 to £100,000, awarded via annual trustee meetings at their discretion, with no published deadlines, online forms, or application guidance. Distinctively invite-only and non-strategic in publicity, the trust avoids fundraising, trading, or direct programs, differentiating itself through responsive, high-trust funding for known hospices and aligned causes, fostering major, sustainable support without exclusions on religion or grant types beyond its UK charity focus.
