Emanuel School General Charitable Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Trust's reported giving centres on bursaries that pay for pupils to attend Emanuel School, with the school choosing the pupils, so a charity whose work is not linked to school education does not match its current pattern.
- The annual report shows £421,837 awarded in total, but no typical grant size or grant range is stated, so a grant writer should not assume a particular figure.
- The annual report and register entry publish no application process, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown on its website or in the report to ask whether a request would fit.
- Nothing published says how competitive the Trust is or when it considers requests, so no timing can be advised.

What they fund
Priority Areas
The Trust's objects cover charitable purposes connected with its associated school and other charitable purposes or charitable foundations at the trustees' discretion. Its reported grant-making has centred on grants to the school to fund bursaries for pupils attending it, with the school choosing the pupils. The report also notes earlier loans for school-building development. The school's fundraising pages describe funded places as a way to widen access, support social mobility and enable young people with distinctive promise to attend regardless of financial means. The giving described therefore supports school-linked education, especially bursaries for pupils.
