Uli Charitable Trust
About This Funder
The ULI Charitable Trust, a UK-registered charity established by trust deed in April 2005 and active since July 2006, supports the Urban Land Institute Europe's mission to shape the future of the built environment through leadership, innovation, and transformative impact on cities, communities, and the planet. Managed by a board of peer-elected trustees, it embodies core values of sustainability, diversity, evidence-led practice, and public good, mobilizing the real estate sector to tackle climate crises via decarbonisation and net zero strategies, affordable housing, and education for diverse young leaders in land use and real estate.
It funds thematic priorities including urban decarbonisation, housing attainability and affordability, educational/training programmes (e.g., ULI UrbanPlan for school pupils), conservation, heritage preservation, economic/community development, research, and thought leadership. Beneficiaries are UK charities, voluntary bodies, educational institutions, and occasionally individuals driving practical responses to climate change, inclusive urban growth, and sector expertise-building, with a focus on high-impact, collaborative initiatives rather than short-term projects.
Eligible entities are UK-registered charities and academic institutions operating in England and Wales, preferably medium-to-large organisations with proven governance, sector expertise, and capacity for systemic change; no income thresholds are specified, but unsolicited applications are not accepted—prospective partners must initiate via phone enquiry or ULI networks for alignment discussions.
Grants typically range from £25,000 to £150,000 for project/programme funding, capacity building, research, and sponsorship, decided strategically at quarterly trustee meetings with no fixed deadlines. Exclusions include core/unrestricted costs, emergency relief, and non-UK work. Distinctively, it leverages ULI's international network for cross-sector partnerships, prioritising evidence-based interventions in urban resilience, social equity, and professional development.
