The Jongen Charitable Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- The trust does not consider unsolicited applications and says it proactively identifies the organisations it supports, so an open request is unlikely to be considered and the route in appears to be relationship-led.
- If your work fits its themes of education, youth homelessness, mental health services and employment opportunities for young people, raise it through a route the trust would recognise rather than sending a cold application.
- Its typical grants fall between £75,000 and £200,000, with a median of £150,000, and about 8 in 10 of its 20 grants to organisations fall in that band, so a much smaller request may not match how it gives.
- No geographic focus is stated, so location alone should not decide the question.
- Organisations wanting to make an unsolicited application should not apply to this trust.

Priority Areas
The trust’s overarching aim is a future in which young people have the access and opportunities they need to thrive, with a focus on vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. It supports selected charitable organisations working in the broad areas of disadvantaged young people, homelessness, refugees and asylum seekers, education and access to opportunity. Its priorities include ensuring young people can reach education or employment opportunities, relieving hardship and distress among those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, and promoting access to mental health services for young people and their families. It is committed to unrestricted annual grants where possible and where these meet an organisation’s particular requirements; the trustees may sometimes support work beyond those priorities in response to an emergency or humanitarian crisis. The trust proactively identifies organisations rather than considering unsolicited applications.
