The Salo Bordon Charitable Trust, established in 1973, is a low-profile UK charity that supports religious education and social welfare by making grants to other charities and voluntary organisations. It does not run its own programmes, instead empowering established bodies to deliver public benefit. Guided by a stable, generalist ethos and a commitment to consistency and discretion, the Trust has operated quietly for over five decades, enabling sector organisations without seeking public attention. Its funding character is understated and traditional, focusing on broad themes rather than narrow sub-categories.
What Salo Bordon Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds initiatives in two broad areas: religious education, including faith-based learning and community outreach, and social welfare, which encompasses support for vulnerable groups. There are no restrictions on specific religions, ages, or issues within these themes. Grants are typically for general purposes and may support either projects or core costs. While the Trust prioritises charities operating in England and Wales, it also considers aligned international activities.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and voluntary organisations, including community groups. The Trust typically supports medium to large established entities with a proven track record, though there are no strict income thresholds. There is no requirement for applicants to be of a particular faith, as the Trust's religious context is unrestricted. Organisations should demonstrate public benefit in line with the Trust's dual themes of religious education and social welfare.
What Salo Bordon Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not make grants to individuals, nor does it fund organisations that provide direct services themselves rather than acting as grant-making bodies. It also does not support activities that fall outside its two core themes of religious education and social welfare.
How they like to fund
The Trust makes grants for general purposes, which may include project costs or core costs. It does not accept unsolicited applications; instead, it operates through a private, trustee-led process with no published guidelines or set timelines. The Trust's approach is understated and traditional, focusing on established organisations and maintaining a low public profile.
