The Schroder Charity Trust is an independent grant-making Family Trust that has been supporting the charitable and voluntary sector for over 70 years.
The Schroder Charity Trust generally makes grants of up to £5,000. In 2019/20 the average grant was £4,368. We receive between 400-500 applications each year and approximately 100 charities receive grants, meaning there is a 1 in 5 success rate (i.e. of every 5 applications we receive, 1 will receive funding). We fund both core costs and specific projects, but not large capital appeals. Grants are usually for a one-year period, rather than over multiple years.
The Schroder Charity Trust will consider applications from charities registered in England & Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
The Schroder Charity Trust will not support:
- Individuals
- Animal Welfare Organisations
- Political Organisations
- Major Capital Appeals
- Social Enterprises or CICs (unless they are also a registered charity)
