Directory of Grant Making Trusts 2022/2023

The UK’s best-selling guide to funding from grant-making charities is back in a new 27th edition.

The Directory of Grant Making Trusts offers the information you need to seek your charity’s share of over £5.6 billion – the annual total awarded by the 2,000 funders featured in this edition. With data sourced from grant-making charities, each with the potential to give around £50,000 or more per year, no charity – big or small – should be without it.

It was voted fourth on The Guardian’s 2016 list of ‘Five must-reads for charity workers’.

DSC’s flagship guide to grant-makers includes:

• Concise information and contact details for every entry
• Total amounts of funding available for each grant-maker
• Examples of beneficiaries in each listing, for guidance on the types of projects previously funded
• Extensive indexes divided by geographical area, field of interest and type of beneficiary, type of organisation, and type of grant available
• Each grant-maker’s description of project types that can or cannot qualify for funding
• This edition welcomes 174 grant-making charities that are completely new to DGMT
