Support to marginalised groups and communities

The Orange Tree Trust is a family-based grant-making charity established in 2018 that supports registered charities and, occasionally, individuals across the UK and elsewhere. A small number of grants of up to £10,000 are available to UK registered charities working in the UK and/or overseas in the areas of support to marginalised groups and communities, refugees, people who are homeless, health and wellbeing, mental health, medical research and academic research in the arts, humanities and the social sciences. Funding is available for capital projects to improve or develop existing assets, core costs towards general running costs of the organization, and project-specific activities costs for delivering projects including staff and relevant overheads. The Trust also provides funding for students seeking support towards educational costs, requiring evidence of previous academic achievement, academic and personal references, and offers from academic institutions. Applicants are requested to include information about steps being taken to address the environmental impact of proposed projects. Pre-application forms should be submitted by the middle of the month preceding Board meetings in February, June and October.
