FY2025: 20 grants totalling £475k are listed but excluded from totals: unverified read (a second reading of the page gave a different amount).

FY2024: 3 grants totalling £33.9m are listed but excluded from totals: unverified read (amount is larger than the funder’s total spending for the year — probably a units error).

Application guidance — from the funder’s own website

• Who can apply: The Trust makes grants to charitable, educational, and ecclesiastical organisations across the United Kingdom. Applications from individuals, statutory bodies (unless partnered with a charity), and organisations based outside the UK are excluded.
• How to apply: The Trust accepts unsolicited applications via email to [email protected]. Applicants must read specific guidelines for music, health, and heritage before applying. Grants are typically one-off awards of £10,000-£100,000 for specific initiatives rather than unrestricted funding.
• Deadlines: The Trust operates grant rounds with specific deadlines, such as a summer round deadline of 1 July for heritage projects. They are currently accepting applications for their 2027 grant programme.
• What they don’t fund: The Trust does not fund retrospective applications, capital appeals for construction, emergency appeals, feasibility studies, campaigning, or core running costs. They also exclude applications from individuals, statutory bodies (unless partnered with a charity), organisations with over twelve months of unrestricted reserves, and those rejected within the last twelve months.

What this funder supports

Based on the register classifications and operating areas of the grant recipients we could match to the charity register (a subset of all grantees).

What changed: FY2024 → FY2025

Grantees that appear, disappear or move by 50%+ between the two most recent filings that have counted grants (unverified reads are left out, so a filing whose grants are all unverified is skipped). A grantee “dropped” may simply have received a multi-year grant earlier.

Write-backs & cancellations

2 entries totalling −£160k in this funder’s accounts are negative amounts, such as the write-back of an accrued grant or a cancelled grant. They are shown here on their own and are not netted off the grants total or counted as grants above. They are in the CSV with amount_note “write_back”.

About this data

This grant list is extracted by automated reading of the grant-maker’s own accounts PDFs as filed with the Charity Commission, and cross-checked against the accounts’ stated grant totals. Recipients are linked to register entries only on an exact charity-number or unambiguous exact-name match. If you represent this funder or a recipient and want a correction, email [email protected].

Grants marked “Unverified read” were flagged by automated checks as possibly misread from the filed accounts. They stay in the list and the CSV (read_status column) but are left out of the totals, counts and recipient tallies this site computes.
