The Earle and Stuart Charitable Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The trust makes grants to UK-registered charities that provide assistance directly to beneficiaries, so that is the main test of fit, and groups that are not UK-registered charities fall outside its stated eligibility.
- About 8 in 10 of its 15 grants to organisations fall between £500 and £12,000, with a median of £2,000, so a request in that range is the most realistic; its largest grant was £21,000, so that band is typical rather than a limit.
- Its published exclusions list UK registered charities and institutions within the UK, which conflicts with its stated eligibility, so confirm with the trust through the contact details it shows before you apply.
- No application process is published, so a short enquiry is the sensible first step, and grant levels depend on available funds and the nature of suitable projects.
