Following the temporary suspension of applications in October 2024, we are delighted to announce that we are open to applications with a more focussed grant-making strategy.

The Schroder Charity Trust will now be accepting applications in two application windows each year. The eligibility questionnaire and application form for the next application window will go live at 9am on the 1st October 2025 and the window will remain open from 1st October – 30th November 2025.

We anticipate making decisions on grants within four months of the application window closing. Application window dates for 2026 will be published on the Schroder Charity Trust website by the 31st December 2025.

Please read the FAQs before making an application.

WHAT WE SUPPORT

Following a strategic review of the Schroder Charity Trust’s grant-making programme, we are only considering applications for 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.
