Grant News
The Schroder Charity Trust has announced that it will re-open its grants programme for applications in early March 2026, with the first funding window running from 1 March to 30 April 2026.
The Trust is an independent UK grant-making family charity that focuses on two strategic objectives:
- enabling children and young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds to thrive in education and employment,
- and strengthening communities through services that improve wellbeing and life outcomes for vulnerable and disadvantaged groups across the UK.
Eligible applicants are registered UK charities with annual incomes between £150,000 and £1,000,000 whose work aligns with one or both of these objectives. Funding may be requested for core organisational costs or specific project costs that directly support these priority activities.
Grants are typically one-year awards of up to £5,000. Decisions are expected within approximately 4 months of the application window closing, and grantees report on outcomes approximately 1 year after the award.
Previously funded work has included initiatives to improve literacy and school readiness for vulnerable children, youth employability programmes, community wellbeing services, and activities reducing social isolation among older residents.
