Emerton-Christie Charity grants

Discretionary one-off donations from a small grant-making trust to charities registered with any of the three UK charity regulators. Trustees tend to favour education and training, health and saving of lives, disability, arts, culture, heritage and science, and environment and conservation, and will consider core funding. Applying is simply an email describing your request and the amount; trustees meet once a year, generally in the autumn.

Who can apply

  • 'All UK registered charities may apply.' Donations can go to any charitable organisation, regardless of where it works or where its beneficiaries are, that is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) or the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland
  • Unregistered groups are not eligible

What it funds

Donations to registered charities at the trustees' discretion, with a tendency to focus on:

  • Education/training
  • The advancement of health or saving of lives
  • Disability
  • Arts/culture/heritage/science
  • Environment/conservation/heritage

Both project and core funding are considered ('Do you consider core funding?' 'Yes, we do').

Donations are usually one-off: 'We will only very rarely give a commitment to continued funding.'

How to apply

  1. Email info@emertonchristie.org with a short description of your request, the amount you are seeking, and your charity name and registered number
  2. Lodge the appeal ideally by the end of August, ahead of the trustees' annual meeting (generally in the autumn)
  3. Trustees contact successful applicants

Postal appeals are no longer accepted.

Attachments are allowed, but do not send lengthy documents, accounts or annual reports.

No feedback or updates are given; unsuccessful applicants may reapply the following year. The charity has no administrative staff, so replies to enquiries may take time.
