The St. Jude’s Trust is a small but well-established family-based grant-making Trust that was formed in 1961 and registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales in 1964. The Trust generally awards grants of between £300 and £3,000, with no match funding requirement, for a range of charitable causes in England and Wales, albeit with a stated preference for supporting charities working in the areas of:
- The relief of poverty.
- The advancement of religion.
- The advancement of education, and
- Other valid charitable purposes.
Charities working in the arts and supporting people with a disability or those who are in poor health are also regularly funded.
Applications should be made in writing and by post only (the Trust does not accept applications by email and does not advertise an email address) by the end of April and October annually for review in May and November. All applications are considered but, in the interest of costs, only successful applicants receive a response.
The next application deadline is on Wednesday 30 April 2025.
