About PG & NJ Boulton Trust Limited

The PG & NJ Boulton Trust Limited is a family-founded grant-making charity established in 1976 by Thomas Boulton, later becoming a charitable company limited by guarantee. Rooted in a personal, familial ethos of gratitude, prudent stewardship, and adaptability, the Trust supports a broad spectrum of charitable purposes through trustee-led discretionary grants. Their mission focuses on impactful giving without fixed schemes or public priorities, funding educational bodies, faith-based organisations, humanitarian efforts, community projects, and health initiatives. They prioritise organisations that demonstrate effectiveness, values alignment, and service to disadvantaged communities.

What PG & NJ Boulton Trust Limited funds

The Trust funds educational bodies, faith-based organisations, humanitarian efforts, community projects, and health initiatives. They support a broad spectrum of charitable purposes, including work with disadvantaged communities. While applications are considered from anywhere in the UK, giving patterns show a particular interest in North West England, especially Wirral and Merseyside. The Trust favours grassroots and multi-sectoral causes that resonate with their legacy of responsible, community-minded philanthropy.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and academic institutions. The Trust has a preference for small- to medium-sized entities, typically those with an income described qualitatively as within a moderate scale. They prioritise organisations that demonstrate effectiveness, values alignment, and service to disadvantaged communities. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; funding is reserved for existing partners or those known to trustees.

What PG & NJ Boulton Trust Limited doesn't fund

The Trust does not fund individuals, large bureaucratic organisations, or purely advocacy-focused work. They favour grassroots causes and avoid rigid frameworks or administrative-heavy bodies. Their giving is directed away from entities lacking a direct charitable service focus.

How they like to fund

The Trust operates through a flexible, relationship-driven approach rather than rigid frameworks. They support unrestricted core costs, projects, or capital needs. Funding is reserved for existing partners or those known to trustees; unsolicited applications are not accepted due to resource constraints.
