Pebble Trust
About This Funder
The Pebble Trust, founded in 2014 from a single inheritance, is a UK-based funder dedicated to catalysing a sustainable, fair, low-carbon society amid climate and biodiversity crises. Its mission emphasises localised economies, resilient communities, minimised fossil fuel dependency, and challenging inequality, guided by core values of fairness, sustainability, grassroots empowerment, and climate justice. With a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and continuous learning, it adopts a flexible, catalytic approach, prioritising innovative small-to-medium projects where grants form a major funding share, fostering ripple effects through evidence-based impact.
It funds climate action initiatives that reduce fossil fuel and resource dependence, enhance resilience, promote resource efficiency, local empowerment, and equity. Supported activities span sustainable renovations, renewable energy, biodiversity, food systems, transport, and social justice, targeting individuals, community groups, small charities, and social enterprises—especially grassroots efforts in Scotland's Highlands and Islands (e.g., Argyll, Orkney, Shetland). Smaller programmes include global south projects and Brighton & Hove donations/talent grants for youth.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities, community groups, or social enterprises with no strict income limits but preference for smaller, local, innovative entities demonstrating community benefit and alignment with planetary boundaries; geography prioritises Highlands/Islands, with occasional broader UK or Scotland-wide support. Typical grants range £2,000–£10,000 (max £10,000 core); apply via downloadable email form on a rolling basis—no deadlines for core programme, decisions prompt. Brighton deadlines: 31 Oct 2025 next. Excludes unrestricted/core funding, favouring discrete projects over large organisations; distinctive for empowering status-quo challengers in high-need regions.
