The Tudor Trust is an independent grant-making charitable trust which supports organisations working in any part of the UK. The Tudor Trust fund a wide range of people and organisations working to build stronger communities.
Tudor supports work which tries to meet the many different needs of people at the margins of society and are interested in how organisations tackle these needs, and their root causes. The Tudor Trust 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.
The Tudor Trust focus is on smaller forward-looking groups, led by capable and committed people. Some of the other characteristics they look for include:
Organisations working directly with people who are at the margins of society
• A focus on building stronger communities by overcoming isolation and fragmentation and encouraging inclusion, connection and integration
• Organisations which are embedded in their community and which can identify and channel the potential within that community – whether the local area or a ‘community of interest’
• Organisations which can demonstrate that they listen to and are responsive to their users
• Organisations which are thoughtful in their use of resources and which foster community resilience in the face of environmental, economic or social change
The Tudor Trust are more likely to fund groups with an annual turnover of less than £1 million. However, we sometimes make grants to larger groups, particularly for work which could be influential or which a smaller organisation would not have the capacity to deliver.
