The Troutsdale Charitable Trust is a family-led grant-making foundation established in 2015 in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, overseen by the Guthrie family trustees. Rooted in philanthropy and stewardship, it advances public benefit by supporting children and young people, charities and voluntary bodies to improve education, training, arts, culture, amateur sport, heritage preservation and environmental conservation. The Trust's generalist ethos emphasises strengthening civil society through projects fostering social inclusion, educational progress, cultural enrichment and long-term community impact. Its distinctive approach combines familial governance with robust risk management, avoiding narrow silos while prioritising high-impact, opportunity-building causes.

The Trust funds a broad range of activities including project delivery, core costs, capital grants and programme support. It supports small to medium charities, voluntary organisations and community groups working with children and young people. While open to England-wide initiatives, it shows a particular affinity for projects in North Yorkshire and northern England that deliver clear local benefits. Cause areas include education, arts, culture, amateur sport, heritage preservation and environmental conservation, with a practical focus on local youth and families facing complex needs.
