The Money Advice Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The funder's work is debt advice, training for debt advisers and money education, so a small nonprofit doing that kind of work has the clearest reason to approach it.
- Its annual giving is £10,850, so any request should be modest, and the one recorded grant went to a partner agency for Wiseradviser training, which is the clearest pointer to where it has given.
- No application process is published, so the only route in is the contact shown, and the material available does not say how competitive or relationship-led its giving is.
- Neither the annual report nor its website sets out broader grant criteria, so the main question is fit with its stated focus.
