Opus Dei Charitable Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The trust's stated focus is youth clubs, homework centres and tertiary education, so a small charity doing similar work may find a fit, but its money reaches charities through the Councils of Opus Dei rather than through an open application process.
- Its annual report records £47,000 paid out, but the register does not confirm that scale, and no grant range is stated, so any request should be modest and tied to those themes.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown in its annual report to ask whether support can reach your work through the Councils.
- The amount available depends on donations received, so expect the funding to be limited and uncertain and plan other income alongside it.
