Aims/priorities: The Trust aims to support charities that promote human dignity and defend the human rights of marginalised and excluded people in the UK.
Who can apply? Charities registered and working in the UK can apply.
Charities should provide three year's financial information, with all three years showing a minimum income of £150,000 and maximum of £1.5 million.
The Trust is looking for applicant organisations that:
- Deliver effective work and can demonstrate the difference it makes.
- Listen to the people they seek to support about their needs, and amend their work accordingly.
- Engage the talents of people who have experienced the problems the organisation exists to address.
- Are well run, make best use of resources and follow best practice (eg in governance, financial management, DEI, safeguarding).
- Work well with others in the geographical or policy area (are happy to combine knowledge and resources where helpful and avoid duplication).
- Share knowledge where possible (eg with colleagues in the sector, or to influence attitudes to an issue or to influence policy).
- Would make best use of a grant (ie where the grant would make a positive difference).
Grant amount: The grants range in size, with most grants being in the range of £10,000 to £30,000 per year and are awarded from one to three years.
The fund is in high demand, and only around a third of eligible applicants will receive funding.
Application process: Applications are considered four times a year.
An online application form is available to complete on the AB Charitable Trust's website. Initially, applicants are advised to select the priority that they wish to apply under to be taken through a four-step process to determine their eligibility before completing and submitting the full application.
