WHAT WE SUPPORT

Following a strategic review of the Schroder Charity Trust’s grant-making in 2024-25, we only consider applications for charitable work under the following two objectives: 

Objective (1): Enabling children and young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds to thrive and achieve their potential in education and employment. 

Objective (2): Strengthening communities through services and opportunities which enhance the wellbeing and life outcomes of vulnerable and disadvantaged people. 

A full list of funding priorities and criteria can be found in the FAQs.

OUR HISTORY

The Schroder Charity Trust has a proud history of supporting the UK charity sector for over 70 years.

Originally established as ‘The Bruno Schroder Charity Trust’ in 1946, the name was later changed to the ‘Schroder Charity Trust’ in 1953. The Schroder Charity Trust is wholly independent of Schroders Plc, the investment management company that is also associated with the Schroder family.
