About Brian Murtagh Charitable Trust

Brian Murtagh Charitable Trust is a family trust that provides small grants to smaller UK charities and not-for-profits, with a clear emphasis on organizations supporting children and young adults. Its funding is especially oriented toward practical, frontline work in education and training, disability support, and relief from social disadvantage, poverty, sickness, and trauma. The trust appears to favor organizations with modest budgets rather than large institutions, and it can also support international work when delivered through a UK-registered arm.

Giving Approach

Small grants to charities and not-for-profits with annual income/expenditure under £300,000; trustees meet four times per year, and applications are reviewed on a rolling basis rather than against a fixed public deadline. Funding is likely selective and relationship-driven, with a focus on modest, targeted awards.

How to approach this funder

Check that your organization’s income is under £300,000 and that your work directly benefits children or young adults in one of the trust’s priority areas. Since trustees meet quarterly and no public deadline is listed, submit a concise application well before the next trustee meeting and clearly explain your beneficiary group, geography, and how the grant will be used.
