Getty Jnr Charitable Trust
The J Paul Getty Jnr Charitable Trust, one of the largest grant making trusts in the UK has announced that it is winding down the Trust over a period of between five and ten years.
This means that the Trust will be increasing the level of annual spend and will be looking for opportunities to award a number of more substantial grants that will have an enduring impact.
Since 1986 the Trust has awarded nearly £38 million to over 3,000 charities across the United Kingdom. The Trust aims to support projects which help to relieve poverty, support disadvantaged people, and effect long-term change where help is not readily available from the public or private purse.
The Trust also provides funding for the arts, and towards the conservation of the natural and built environment. The Trust makes grants through two funding streams.
Main grants can be between £10,000 and £250,000 over a period of 1 to 3 years.
Small grants of up to £5,000 are also available for smaller charities.
Applications can be submitted at any time.
