Seedfield Trust
About This Funder
Seedfield Trust is a grant-making charitable trust established in 1981, rooted in a Christian ethos to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ while advancing broader charitable aims in education, training, health and lifesaving, poverty relief, overseas aid, famine relief, and religious activities. Overseen by a small group of unremunerated trustees with no staff, it manages substantial assets through professional investments for long-term stability, emphasizing stewardship, responsible governance, and tangible impact for disadvantaged groups. Its distinctive, low-profile approach favors holistic, faith-inspired philanthropy that supports vulnerable populations locally and globally.
The trust funds projects benefiting children and young people, elderly individuals, people with disabilities, other charities, voluntary bodies, and the general public, with priorities in Christian outreach, church development, missionary work, education, health initiatives, poverty alleviation, and humanitarian efforts. It provides project funding, core costs, capital grants, and occasional unrestricted or capacity-building support, particularly for smaller organizations tackling isolation, hardship, or community needs, showing a strong pattern of grants to Cumbria-based work alongside UK and overseas causes aligned with its values.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities with no formal income thresholds but a preference for small to medium-sized entities; geographic focus prioritizes Cumbria yet accepts any location. Typical grants range from £2,000 to £10,000. Unsolicited applications require downloading the official form from https://seedfieldtrust.wordpress.com and emailing it by the annual deadline of 1 April 2026, with decisions at the May trustees' meeting. No major exclusions are published beyond misalignment with Christian and charitable objectives, setting it apart as a flexible, conservative funder for faith-based and practical service to communities in need.
