About S G Charitable Trust

S G Charitable Trust is an independent grant-making trust established in 1994 and registered with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator. Based in London, it advances education, religion, and health through a traditional, trustee-directed approach. With no published mission statement or strategic plan, its ethos emphasises broad charitable benefit via discretionary grants to aligned registered charities. The Trust takes a low-profile, donor-driven model, supporting established organisations delivering public benefit within its three core pillars. It funds project costs, core funding, and general charitable work, favouring conventional outcomes over experimental or issue-specific initiatives.

What S G Charitable Trust funds

The Trust supports activities advancing education, such as schools and training; religion, including faith-based initiatives; and health, covering healthcare improvements. It funds project costs, core funding, and general charitable work, taking a generalist stance within these pillars. Geographically, it supports charities whose activities are primarily outside Scotland, across the rest of the UK. The Trust backs established organisations delivering public benefit without narrow thematic priorities or exclusions by subgroup, focusing on conventional outcomes in these three areas.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities based in the UK with activities primarily outside Scotland. No income thresholds or size restrictions apply, so charities of varied scales may be considered. The Trust favours organisations closely aligned with its purposes of education, religion, and health through public benefit activities. It does not fund individuals or experimental projects.

What S G Charitable Trust doesn't fund

The Trust does not fund individuals, experimental or narrowly issue-specific projects, or charities whose activities are primarily based in Scotland. It avoids issue-specific or experimental funding, prioritising conventional outcomes in its three core areas.

How they like to fund

The Trust operates by trustee invitation only and does not accept unsolicited applications. It provides both project costs and core funding, and supports general charitable work. Its approach is traditional, donor-driven, with no public application process. Grants are discretionary and trustee-selected.
