Trust for London

The Trust will fund organisations carrying out charitable work that aims to achieve economic and social justice in London.

Trust for London aims to build strong, supportive relationships that help organisations to achieve change. They are committed to being easy to work with, flexible in their approach, and open and honest.

They provide two different types of funding:

  1. Project funding:
    Funding for discrete and timebound pieces of work - funding can include project-related salaries and a reasonable proportion of overheads.
     
  2. Unrestricted funding:
    Registered charities working solely to tackle poverty in London can apply for unrestricted funding. This can be used flexibly for general operational costs in your organisation. 

You can apply on your own or as part of a collaboration with others.

Your programme must sit within one of their two funding priorities:

  • Economic Justice
    Decent work, improving social security, ending the poverty premium, tackling the housing crisis.
     
  • Social Justice
    Ending migrant destitution, racial justice, disability justice.

    The disability justice strand will re-open to grant applications in 2026.

How to Apply:

  1. Read the funding guidelines in detail.
  2. Book a call to speak to a Grants Manager.
  3. Complete the eligibility quiz and submit an initial application.
