Finding a funder is the easy part. The hard part is working out which of their programmes you're actually eligible for, and not wasting a week on an application that was never a fit. This guide lists Trust for London's currently open programmes so you can check the basics before you commit.
Open Trust for London programme right now
- Grant funding: economic & social justice
London. Project and unrestricted funding for organisations tackling the root causes of poverty and inequality (economic & social justice). Rolling — apply any time for most priority areas (EOI then second stage; decision ~4 months). NOTE (funder's Oct 2025 update, re-verified 2026-06-12): advice/service-delivery-only projects are NO LONGER funded — work must link to longer-term policy/systems change; the migration priority is currently CLOSED to applications.
Each programme links to Trust for London's official page. Always confirm eligibility, amounts and deadlines there before applying. Funders update their pages, and "rolling" does not mean funding is guaranteed.
Before you apply to Trust for London
- Check the eligibility basics first: where you work, the type of organisation you are, who you help, and the realistic size of grant you can deliver.
- Look at who Trust for London has funded recently. Recent grants are the best signal of whether your work fits their priorities.
- Don't rely on one funder. The charities that win consistently keep a live shortlist of several well-matched opportunities, not a single bet.
