The Tudor Trust is an independent grant-making charitable trust which supports organisations working in any part of the UK. They fund a wide range of people and organisations working to build stronger communities. They don’t have specific funding programmes designed to advance a particular agenda as they think that the groups they support are best placed to identify problems and develop solutions.
Tudor supports work which tries to meet the many different needs of people at the margins of society. They are interested in how organisations tackle these needs, and their root causes. They are keen to work with organisations which have a real understanding of the challenges facing the communities they support, and a clear sense of the difference they seek to make through their work.
They make grants to organisations working in many different fields and look for a number of key characteristics in the groups they support. There are some types of organisation and work which they will not consider for funding.
As they receive more applications than they can fund, they have a straightforward two-stage application process designed to reduce the time, effort and resources organisations spend on their first approach to them.
