The Guide to New Trusts 2021/22

Finding new grant-makers is a time-consuming and intricate business. The Guide to New Trusts takes the legwork out of the process to help you beat a short path to new funders who might support your cause.

The grant-makers in this guide, all registered in 2020/21, were chosen for their wide geographical area of operation and the breadth of their giving criteria, making them relevant to a large number of charities. Previous editions have contained a diverse range of opportunities, including charities established by entrepreneurs, investment bankers, fashion designers, wine growers, house builders, sports people and even famous musicians.
