Imagine If Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated aims are to relieve need, advance education and provide social-welfare facilities, but its recorded organisational grants went to a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo and a charitable-services organisation, with no purposes given, so the record does not show what kind of project it funds.
- Annual giving is £30,401 and the annual report gives no grant range, so keep any request proportionate and ask the Trust what it would consider.
- No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so make first contact through the contact shown and ask how it accepts requests before writing a full proposal.
- Its stated geographic focus is Liverpool, the United Kingdom and the world, and most of its work is in the Liverpool City Region.
- The evidence does not show how competitive or relationship-led its giving is, so do not assume that a personal connection is needed.

Priority Areas
The Trust’s recorded organisational grants went to a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo and a charitable-services organisation; the grant rows state no purposes. The Trust describes its wider work as community projects and sets out aims to relieve need, advance education and provide social-welfare facilities. It says most of its work is focused on the Liverpool City Region, while its overseas work has primarily been through Love Congo in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Through that project it works alongside partner organisations, providing practical and financial support in a number of areas. The evidence does not identify a specific field or type of project for its grants to organisations, so its wider service work should not be treated as grant criteria.
