About P27 Trust

The P27 Trust is a grant-making charitable company limited by guarantee, established in 2019 and based in York. Its purpose is to advance the Christian gospel while providing compassionate relief to people and communities in physical, mental, and spiritual need, both domestically and internationally. Rooted in Christian stewardship and values, the Trust exercises broad trustee discretion to support faith-aligned initiatives that integrate gospel outreach with practical humanitarian aid. It funds exclusively charitable purposes under English and Welsh law, operating through responsive, values-led grant-making. The Trust prioritises projects that combine evangelism and Christian witness with tangible help for those in distress, reflecting a dual spiritual-practical focus.

What P27 Trust funds

The Trust supports projects in evangelism, Christian witness, poverty relief, community development, social care, and assistance for vulnerable or marginalised groups, often through faith-based charities. Grants cover practical relief, core funding, capital, and revenue needs, including unrestricted support for organisations strengthening Christian mission alongside tangible help for distress and suffering. The Trust operates throughout England and Wales, with overseas work also welcome. It favours small to medium-sized organisations and tends to avoid well-funded issues, focusing instead on gospel-centred work with humanitarian impact.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants are primarily UK-registered charities, with a focus on England and Wales, though overseas organisations are also welcome. The Trust prefers small to medium-sized charities, particularly those with modest annual income and reserves below one year's expenditure. A Christian ethos and alignment with the trustees' priorities are key. Unsolicited written applications are accepted, and the Trust welcomes both registered charities and other eligible entities, though registered charity status is required.

What P27 Trust doesn't fund

The Trust avoids well-funded issues and organisations with high reserves, as well as non-charitable activities. It does not support groups that lack a Christian ethos or that do not align with the trustees' priorities. There are no formal thematic restrictions beyond faith-driven charitable need, but the focus remains on gospel-centred work with humanitarian impact.
