The Sackler Trust provides funding for a broad range of charitable projects and activities, with applications welcomed from charities and Community Interest Companies (CICs) who can demonstrate a clear rationale for support in areas including:

• social good
• education
• the arts
• science
• the environment
• local heritage.

Funded projects should show a clear charitable purpose and deliver measurable public benefit.

Who can apply

The Trust makes grants to other UK charities or organisations and entities established for charitable purposes. These are organisations which are registered with The Charity Commission for England and Wales, The Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator, or are registered as a Community Interest Company, or are exempt from registration.

The Sackler Trust supports a wide range of organisations, focusing on:

• Science
• Education
• Arts
• Heritage
• The Environment
• Social Good

When to apply

The Sackler Trust operates an open application programme, meaning organisations can apply at a time that suits their project or activity, rather than working to fixed deadlines. The trustees meet quarterly.

How to apply

Applications are submitted by email and should be no more than two pages in length. Grant decisions are typically informed by an assessment of organisational need, anticipated impact, and long-term sustainability.

To apply please provide a brief description of the project, which should total no more than two pages. More information will be requested if required. It will help the application to include:

• The name of the organisation applying
• Contact details
• Link to the website for your organisation
• The Charity Commission or CIC registration number
• The most recent Report & Accounts for your organisation

Applications should be sent electronically to contact@sacklertrust.org

If submitting an application for a time-dependent project your application should be sent at least six months in advance of the start of the project.

Please note that we have a small team and receive a large number of applications and so it can take some time to process and respond to enquiries.
