The Valiant Charitable Trust is a grant-making charity established in 2010, governed by unpaid trustees. It operates as a lean, private funder with no employees, fundraising, or assets, embodying responsible stewardship and flexible support for general charitable purposes across England and Wales.
The Trust funds a wide range of charitable activities through unrestricted grants, covering project costs, core funding, and general purposes without thematic priorities or beneficiary restrictions. Its trustee-led approach emphasises discretion and responsiveness, and grants are awarded internally without a public application process.
What Valiant Charitable Trust funds
The Trust supports a wide array of charitable activities with no thematic preferences or beneficiary restrictions. Grants are unrestricted and can be used for project costs, core funding, or general charitable purposes. Funding is available to organisations and individuals working across England and Wales, with no further geographic sub-restrictions.
As a generalist funder, the Trust's annual grant expenditure supports diverse charitable benefits. Trustees consider a broad range of causes and do not prioritise any specific sector or issue.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants include UK-registered charities, community groups, and individuals, provided their work takes place within England and Wales. There are no income thresholds, size preferences, or other restrictive criteria. The Trust has no religious restrictions.
However, the Trust does not accept unsolicited applications. All grants are made at the trustees' discretion, and there is no open application process for potential grantees. This means that only organisations or individuals known to the trustees or invited by them may receive support.
What Valiant Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund activities that take place outside England and Wales. Within its geographic area, it does not exclude any particular cause or type of work; it supports general charitable purposes without thematic restrictions.
