Grant priority areas

The Trust has three main funding themes, and welcomes cross-theme applications if you meet more than one area we support.

Social grants

The Trust funds innovative and catalysing Social projects, where the Trust tends to be a ‘first funder’. Social grants are primarily awarded for under-funded causes, rather than those with higher profiles that gain a lot of public attention and may find it easier to attract funding.

Social grants
Medical grants

Medical grants

The Trust funds medical projects that are practical and capable of clinical application within five-to-ten years. They may include a social or ethical element.

Religious grants

The Trust funds ground-breaking, practical ecumenical projects in the UK. The Trust is committed to advancing Christian religion, but also welcomes applications from other faith communities.
