Overview

The Schroder Charity Trust makes grants of up to £5,000 towards core and project costs to charities registered in the UK for work under the following categories:

Arts, Culture and Heritage
Education, Training and Employment
Environment and Conservation
Health and Wellbeing
Strengthening Communities

The Trustees are particularly interested in applications which can demonstrate the following within the funding categories:

Build strong communities and understand how to engage with intended beneficiaries
Replicable and sustainable work
Value for money i.e. the costs vs the number of people reached and the scale of the programme
Maximising the use of volunteers
Support of older people
Support for marginalised/vulnerable younger people
The use of helplines and information support services
Sustainability of funding i.e. the charity will not be solely reliant on a grant from the Schroder Charity Trust for their work.

Funding

The Schroder Charity Trust generally makes grants of up to £5,000. In 2022/23 the average grant was £4,075. They receive over 1000 applications each year and approximately 100 charities receive grants, meaning there is a 1 in 10 success rate (i.e. of every 10 applications we receive, 1 will receive funding). They fund both core costs and project costs. Grants are for a one-year period, rather than over multiple years.
