Radstock Trust CIO
About This Funder
Radstock Trust CIO, registered in August 2020 as a charitable incorporated organisation following a merger with the former Radstock (Eccleston Hall) Trust, exists to advance the study and dissemination of the Holy Scriptures and Protestant Evangelical doctrines. Governed by seven voluntary trustees with robust policies on safeguarding, risk, and financial oversight, it embodies a precise, faith-based ethos rooted in providing spiritual and moral benefits through Bible-centred evangelical work. Distinctive for its unwavering theological focus, the trust operates solely via grants to aligned Christian charities, eschewing direct projects.
It funds activities that promote Evangelical Protestant beliefs, such as theological education, Bible-based outreach, evangelism training, and publications, targeting the general public and Christian voluntary organisations. Support emphasises project-based initiatives advancing its religious objects, with no backing for core costs, capital projects, or unrestricted grants.
Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities demonstrably aligned with Protestant Evangelical aims, operating in England and Wales only; it prefers established medium-to-larger entities with proven capacity over small or informal groups. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—this is an invite-only process driven by trustee discretion, with no public deadlines, forms, or rounds. Typical grants range from £5,000 to £30,000, drawn from annual expenditures of £180,000–£520,000.
Radstock stands out in the UK Christian funding landscape for its rigorous mission specificity, excluding non-Evangelical, non-Christian, or geographically extraneous work, individual churches, or unproven groups. Charities must robustly centre on Bible-based doctrine to qualify, ensuring highly selective, trustee-led stewardship.
