Trustwell Limited

Trustwell Limited is a long-established generalist grant-making charity, registered in England and Wales since 1968 (charity number 257399), structured as a private company limited by guarantee. Managed by a small board of three trustees—Shulem Berger, Getzel Berger, and Sureh Grunzweig—with close familial ties and no paid staff or high salaries, it operates leanly to advance any purposes recognized as charitable under English law, both in the UK and potentially abroad. Its mission emphasizes broad discretion for trustees to support registered charities and voluntary bodies, without published values, strategic plans, or thematic priorities, distinguishing it as a discreet, flexible family-led funder focused solely on grantmaking rather than direct programs.

It funds general charitable purposes exclusively through grants to UK-registered charities and voluntary bodies operating throughout England and Wales, with no specified themes, causes, or beneficiary groups beyond this legal remit. There is no evidence of support for individuals, communities directly, capital projects, or international activities despite governing allowances.

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities based in the UK, with no income size restrictions, regional priorities, or special criteria disclosed. Trustwell does not accept unsolicited applications; grants are awarded at trustees' sole discretion with no published process, forms, contact details, deadlines, or application rounds. Typical grant amounts and frequencies are undisclosed, though annual expenditure of £86,000–£153,000 suggests modest, multi-grant support, likely unrestricted or core funding. Distinctively opaque with no public reports, past grantees, or exclusions beyond statutory limits, it prioritizes trustee-led selections over open competition.
