Launch of St Monica Trust's new fund for Core Funding

St Monica Trust is pleased to announce the launch of the new thematic fund, offering core funding for organisations that support older people to live their best lives.

As part of their 10-year strategy, one of their key aims is to align their charitable giving more closely with their purpose. They regularly review their grant-making priorities based on what they’ve learned and the needs of the sector. Research and ongoing engagement consistently highlight that core funding is the most urgent requirement for many charities.

This new fund reflects their commitment to building communities where older people flourish, supported by a strong, resilient infrastructure. They will prioritise organisations whose core purpose is to support older people and whose values align with their own.

Grants of up to £20,000 will be awarded for one year, with the potential for up to two additional years of funding depending on reporting.

To ensure accessibility, they are using a two-stage application process. Interested organisations are invited to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) using the form found on the website here. Please ensure you read the Core Funding Overview before applying. Both documents are also available on the website

The deadline to submit an EOI is midday on Friday, 27 June 2025.

If they feel your work aligns with their strategic aims, they will invite you to submit a full application.
