Worshipful Company of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators Charitable Trust
About This Funder
The Worshipful Company of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators Charitable Trust, established as part of a livery company founded in 1977 and granted a Royal Charter in 2008, advances the profession of chartered secretaries and administrators while promoting good governance and supporting communities, particularly in the City of London and London Boroughs. Its mission emphasizes sustainable, impactful grants to smaller charities where funding makes a material difference, guided by core values of service with integrity, best governance practices, and community welfare. Distinctively tied to the livery tradition, it prioritizes education and training in governance/business administration, youth development, and initiatives for children, young people, the elderly, disabled individuals, and vulnerable groups, including educational prizes for excellence in chartered secretaries' exams and support for affiliated schools like Mulberry Academy Shoreditch, Rokeby School, and West Ham Sea Cadets.
The Trust funds project-specific activities, core costs, youth initiatives, community welfare, and professional development, with a pattern of annual donations to the Lord Mayor's and Master's charities alongside targeted local grants.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities or academic institutions operating in the City of London or London Boroughs (exceptions rare, requiring liveryman connections); it strongly prefers smaller, grassroots organizations demonstrating clear need, without strict income thresholds. Applications are unsolicited via online form, accepted anytime, and reviewed quarterly (around January, April, July, October), with decisions taking several months.
Typical grants range from £1,000 to £5,000, occasionally larger for affiliates. It avoids large charities, non-London projects without ties, capital builds, or unrestricted funding, standing out for its livery heritage, professional focus, and commitment to tangible local impact.
