Stobart Newlands Charitable Trust
About This Funder
The Stobart Newlands Charitable Trust, established in 1989 by the Stobart family, is a family-governed grant-making charity dedicated to advancing the Christian religion through support for religious and missionary organisations. Overseen by longstanding trustees including Ronnie, Peter, Richard Andrew Stobart, and Linda Elizabeth Rigg, it embodies a deeply personal commitment to Christian values, evangelism, and faith-based outreach, prioritising established partners with whom trustees have meaningful connections. Its distinctive, trustee-led approach rejects unsolicited applications, favouring selective, relationship-based funding that strengthens Christian infrastructure at home and abroad.
The trust funds Christian charities, missionary societies, and faith-oriented projects promoting 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, with a focus on medium-to-large, proven organisations rather than grassroots efforts.
Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities operating in England and Wales, strictly Christian in orientation; international missionary work is occasionally supported if trustee-aligned. There are no income thresholds, but preference goes to established entities known to trustees.
Grants range from £5,000 to £30,000 (typically £10,000–£20,000), awarded ad hoc without deadlines or public processes—unsolicited requests rarely succeed. It excludes non-Christian causes, general welfare without religious focus, and speculative proposals, setting it apart as a niche, faith-centric funder for connected Christian missions.
