P F Charitable Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- P F Charitable Trust gives to other registered charities, and its stated themes are religious activities and education, so check that your work and your charity's registration fit before you apply.
- Its typical grants fall between £30,000 and £120,000, with a median of £50,000, so a much smaller request may sit outside its usual range; the named grants in the annual report are only part of its giving, with a further £1,819,855 in grants it does not itemise.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and should be addressed to the Secretary at its principal office, since it publishes no address, email or phone number for applications, and its trustees usually meet monthly to decide grants.
- If you are funded, you must acknowledge the grant and, where possible, report back on how the money was used.
