Key takeaways

The trust's stated geographic focus is any part of the world, and its reported grants went to charities, so an organisation working on charitable purposes can consider whether its work fits, though the trustees decide which purposes to support.
The annual report shows £16,000 awarded in total, and no grant range or typical grant size is given, so a modest request is the safer starting point.
Applications are rolling, with no deadline stated, and you can submit through the online portal at funding.ludlowtrust.com once your project is ready.
The trust's published information says nothing about how competitive it is or whether it prefers introductions, so treat a first approach as untested.
No exclusions or eligibility conditions are stated, so the trust's charitable purposes are the main test of fit.

Priority Areas

The trust provides grants in furtherance of exclusively charitable objects and purposes. The trustees may apply income and capital at such times and in such manner as they choose, and the purposes may be supported in any part of the world. Its reported grants went to charities, and the trust describes its activity as grant-making for public benefit. Its approach is therefore trustee-discretionary: the trustees decide which charitable purposes to support and how and when to apply the trust’s resources.
