Postcode Global Trust
About This Funder
Postcode Global Trust, a Scottish registered charity established in May 2013, channels proceeds from People’s Postcode Lottery players to fund charities saving lives and strengthening healthcare systems worldwide. Its mission drives tangible, scalable change in health emergencies and systemic weaknesses through an evidence-led, proactive approach, guided by impact, due diligence, and sector needs. Core values of partnership, integrity, and measurable life-saving outcomes underpin a closed, trustee-led selection process that prioritizes high-impact organizations via strategic gap analysis, distinguishing it from open funders.
The Trust specializes in urgent medical aid, medical research, healthcare infrastructure, emergency response, and humanitarian relief, supporting initiatives like conflict-zone interventions, malnutrition prevention, child health programs, and rehabilitation. Beneficiaries include global leaders such as Médecins Sans Frontières, British Red Cross, Save the Children, and International Rescue Committee, focusing on vulnerable populations in developing countries and crisis areas. It favors large, established charities with proven scale, financial resilience, and international reach—no geographic restrictions, but UK-based groups with global programs qualify.
Grants range from £250,000 to £3.1 million, including unrestricted core funding, flexible project support, and one-off innovation awards, with over £27 million awarded in recent years for multi-year commitments. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; trustees invite select organizations for annual board presentations following rigorous assessment. It excludes grassroots or small charities, emphasizing long-term partnerships with robust monitoring over broad or unproven efforts, uniquely leveraging lottery funds for transformative global health impact.
