Pah Family Charitable Trust

The Trust prioritises education and health initiatives, especially those benefiting communities in Greater Manchester. It also considers other local community causes at the trustees’ discretion, taking a generalist approach beyond rigid themes. Grants support both project-specific work and core costs, and are directed toward small to medium-sized charities. The Trust’s geographic preference is for organisations operating in Greater Manchester, though it may consider causes elsewhere. It avoids large-scale projects and non-charitable activities, instead funding established local entities.

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities, with a strong preference for those operating in Greater Manchester. The Trust tends to support established local charities rather than national organisations or grassroots groups. There are no strict income thresholds, but funding favours entities with a proven track record. The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications; it identifies grant recipients through trustee-led discretion, so there is no public application process or formal eligibility checklist.

The Trust does not fund individuals, non-registered charities, or organisations outside the UK. It avoids connected-party transactions, large-scale capital projects, and activities that are not charitable in nature. National or grassroots groups are rarely supported unless they have strong local roots in Greater Manchester. Unsolicited applications are not accepted.

The Trust provides both project-specific grants and core cost support. Funding is one-off or ongoing at the trustees’ discretion, and the Trust does not accept unsolicited approaches—grants are awarded ad hoc through trustee-led decision-making. The Trust is family-led with investment-backed stability, and its pure grant-making focus means it does not provide direct services or partnerships. There is no public application process or formal funding cycle.
