The Dulverton Trust is an independent grant-making charity that supports UK charities and CIOs tackling social issues, protecting the natural world, and preserving heritage crafts. It aims to support medium-sized charities and CIOs with a national footprint, which do not rely significantly on government contracts, across its funding categories.
The Dulverton Trust offers funding across five main categories: Youth Opportunities, General Welfare, Conservation, Heritage, and Kenya and Uganda. Its largest category, Youth Opportunities, supports initiatives helping young people from lower-income backgrounds develop essential life skills. General Welfare focuses on supporting disadvantaged communities and individuals, emphasizing strengthening family relationships, work with (young) offenders, young homeless people's welfare, older people's independence, carers' welfare, and social cohesion. In Conservation, the Trust backs efforts to enhance the UK's wildlife habitats, with a focus on trees, woodlands, and marine environments, generally steering away from single-species projects. The Heritage category promotes traditional craftsmanship training and restoration skills, with a marked interest in heritage skills benefiting disadvantaged groups and support for cathedrals. Finally, in Kenya and Uganda, the Trust supports UK charities working in community development and wildlife conservation, with a current focus on a significant project in Uganda's Murchison Falls area, restricting funding for other projects in these countries. Across all categories, the Trust prioritizes specific and practical work where its contribution makes a significant difference.
