The Julia Rausing Trust is a large UK-based, invite-only funder that supports charities aligned with a healthy society, care for people in need, opportunity for all, and cultural engagement. Its giving is highly strategic and often time-limited, with an emphasis on practical support for frontline organisations such as youth centres, foodbanks, mental health services, and local community charities. It also makes place-based grants in selected areas of the UK and occasionally launches targeted response funds when a sector or population faces acute need.
Primarily invite-only, strategic grantmaking through targeted programmes and occasional emergency or time-limited funds; supports both core costs and programme delivery, with grants often focused on specific geographies or sectors rather than open applications.

This is not an open-application funder; most opportunities are invite-only and tied to specific strategic programmes or local initiatives. Charities that work in the Trust’s priority geographies or themes—especially youth services, food insecurity, young women’s mental health, and community support—should build relationships locally and watch for targeted programme announcements rather than submitting unsolicited proposals.
