Schreib Trust

The Trust funds education and training initiatives, poverty relief efforts, and religious activities, with a recurring emphasis on the interconnected themes of poverty, faith, education, and ethnic minority communities. It supports direct personal aid, institutional strengthening, and community religious life. Grants are available for both project costs and core costs, providing flexible support. The Trust works across England and Wales without a narrow geographic sub-focus, favouring small to medium-sized organisations.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities, community groups, and individuals facing hardship, all based in England and Wales. The Trust prioritises people of specific ethnic or racial origins, as well as those experiencing poverty or seeking faith-based learning. It shows a preference for small to medium-sized entities; larger national charities are rarely funded. There is no strict income threshold and no religious restriction on applicants, though the Trust's focus includes the advancement of religion and religious education.

The Trust typically excludes capital projects, seed funding, and capacity-building initiatives that fall outside its core aims of poverty relief, religious education, and support for ethnic minority communities. It does not fund organisations or individuals based outside England and Wales.

The Trust operates on a referral-only basis and does not accept unsolicited applications. Funding is flexible, supporting both project costs and core costs. Grants are typically one-off or occasional, and the Trust takes a pragmatic, discretionary approach without formal outcome frameworks. It favours small to medium-sized organisations and works through trustee networks and referrals.
