Robertson Trust Small and Large Grants

Robertson Trust are pleased to share the reopening of their Small and Large Grants.

Their new-look Small Grants offer increased funding of between £5,000-£20,000 per year, typically for 3 years. This marks an increase from their previous maximum of £15,000 per year.

Meanwhile, their Large Grants now offer funding of between £20,000-£50,000 per year. This marks a change from their previous minimum of £15,000.

They will initially focus on funding requests which address one or more of the following themes and the priorities within those.

  • Financial Security: improving income adequacy, income security, manageable costs, financial safety nets and advice for those most at risk of poverty and trauma.
  • Education Pathways: preventing and reducing poverty and trauma through access and engagement in early years, education, training and learning.
  • Work Pathways: improving access to good and fair work that can prevent and reduce poverty through increased pay, hours and career progression. This also includes employability support, focused on areas or groups with lower employment rates.

They will be launching a fourth funding theme later this year, following on from their previous Emotional Wellbeing and Relationships theme, with a sharper focus aligned to the aims of our strategy.

Support for grant holders

Alongside grant funding, they also offer non-financial support to enable grant holders to strengthen their capacity, skills and capabilities in different areas. They call this Funder Plus support. They also provide some support to third sector organisations more broadly. They call this Wider Sector Support.
