The Stobart Newlands Charitable Trust was established in 1989 by the Stobart family as a family-governed grant-making charity dedicated to advancing the Christian religion through support for religious and missionary organisations. The trust operates with a deeply personal commitment to Christian values, evangelism, and faith-based outreach. Its distinctive, trustee-led approach favours selective, relationship-based funding, prioritising established partners with whom trustees have meaningful connections. Unsolicited applications are not accepted.
What Stobart Newlands Charitable Trust funds
The trust funds Christian charities, missionary societies, and faith-oriented projects that promote evangelism, education, relief work, and community support for those aligned with or exposed to Christian faith. Grants typically cover core costs, unrestricted support, and specific initiatives furthering religious purposes. The focus is on medium-to-large, proven organisations rather than grassroots efforts. International missionary work is occasionally supported if aligned with trustee connections, helping strengthen Christian infrastructure both in England and Wales and abroad.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities operating in England and Wales with a strictly Christian orientation. International missionary work is occasionally supported if aligned with trustee connections. There are no income thresholds, but preference goes to established entities known to trustees. The trust prioritises medium-to-large, proven organisations rather than grassroots efforts, seeking groups with a clear faith focus and established track record.
What Stobart Newlands Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The trust does not fund non-Christian causes, general welfare without a religious focus, or speculative proposals. Unsolicited applications are not accepted, and grassroots or unproven organisations are unlikely to be supported. The trust focuses exclusively on advancing the Christian religion and does not consider causes outside this remit.
How they like to fund
