Grants between £500 and £10,000 for UK registered charities for projects that encourage literacy and reading, and support for the book trade.
The Trust will provide grants for:
- Education for people working in the book trade.
- Events that promote books and publishing.
- Projects that enhance the enjoyment of reading.
- Projects that support booksellers.
- Schemes that encourage reading and literacy.
- The use of reading and books to alleviate deprivation, and

Bookshops are also encouraged to apply to the Trust for a mentor to visit and to offer a new set of eyes to any problem they may be having.
The Trust also welcomes applications from small organisations for grants of under £500 where this amount of money can make a real difference to a group of people.
Applications may be made at any time via the application form available on the Trust’s website.
