THE MARMOT CHARITABLE TRUST GRANTS UP TO £25,000
While the charitable objects of the Marmot Charitable Trust are to make grants for general charitable purposes at the discretion of its trustees, it places a strong emphasis on funding green initiatives that are working towards a sustainable future, as well as peace and security actions that seek to reduce international conflict including by the eventual elimination of nuclear weapons. Grants are available to UK registered charities working in the UK and/or overseas.
The Trust, which is a member of the Association of Charitable Foundations and the Environmental Funders Network, has decided to spend out over the next 2-3 years with a view to ending its grant-making.
During the year ended 5 April 2023, the Trust awarded 29 grants totalling £368,464 (2022: £326,750). Awards ranged from £250 to £25,000 (to several charities) with an average grant size of approximately £12,706.
Grants made were categorised against the following headings:
o Environmental Sustainability: £247,300.
o Peace and Security: £90,414, and
o Other: £30,750.
All grant recipients are listed on pages 10 and 11 of the Trust’s annual accounts. Grants made appear to indicate a preference for charitable organisations with a national or international reach rather than for local causes.
The trust does not have a website. Further information is, available on the Charity Commission website.
The Trustees meet twice annually to review policy and governance issues and make decisions about grants. Where appropriate fast track decisions on grant applications are made between meetings.
Applications may be made at any time in writing, addressed to:
