The Tudor Trust is an independent grant-making charitable trust which supports organisations working across the UK. The Tudor Trust does not focus funding on specific themes or programmes. Instead they fund a wide range of people and organisations working to achieve lasting change in their communities. Their role is to support and enable their visions, trusting the groups they fund to do the work that is needed.

The Tudor Trust aims to support work which addresses the social, emotional and financial needs of people at the margins of society. They are interested in how organisations tackle these needs, and their root causes. They want to encourage growth, progression and development, not just keeping things as they are.

Although they still make grants across established funding areas (youth, older people, community, relationships, housing, mental health, substance misuse, learning, financial security and criminal justice) the Trust is also open to hearing about work in areas where they have not funded before.

The Trust is most interested in helping smaller, under-resourced organisations which offer direct services and which involve the people they work with in their planning. The groups they fund don’t have to be registered charities; we can also make grants to other groups as long as they have established charitable objectives.

As with many funders the Tudor Trust receives many more applications than they will ever be able to fund, so they have introduced a two-stage application process. This is designed to reduce the time, effort and resources organisations spend on their first approach to the Trust. All applicants are therefore asked to complete a brief first-stage proposal for initial assessment.
