The aim of the Truemark Trust is to make grants to other UK registered charities for the relief of all kinds of social distress and disadvantage. Its policy is to make donations to mostly small local charities dealing with all kinds of disadvantage, with preferences to neighbourhood-based community projects and for innovatory work with less popular groups.
During the the year ended 5th April 2023, the Trust awarded 59 grants totalling £319,000, The average award was for £5,406 (2022: 60 grants totalling £300,500, with an average award of £3,995).
Grants are normally for between £1,000 and £5,000, although the Trust makes a number of awards of up to £8,000.
Details of all grants awarded during the year can be found on pages 12 and 13 of the Trust’s annual accounts.
Funding is not available for:
o Core running costs and salaries.
o Individuals, or
o Large national charities.
Please note that the Trust does not have a website. Further information is, however, available on the Charity Commission website.
Historically the Trustees met quarterly but more regular meetings have taken place since COVID-19 to ensure a swifter distribution of funds. The Trust has no plans to change this arrangement.
