Marr-Munning Trust is a UK-based independent grantmaker that supports charitable projects reducing poverty and suffering in the developing world, with a clear preference for practical, long-lasting solutions rooted in local communities. Its current program centers on education and livelihoods in low-income communities across Sub-Saharan Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, and South East Asia, often backing organizations that work closely with children, youth, women, and marginalized communities. The trust appears to favor established nonprofits with credible local delivery models rather than open-access fundraising appeals.
Core grantmaker with no unsolicited proposals; profile submissions are accepted during a defined window and invitations are then issued to shortlisted organizations. Grants are typically in the low-thousands to tens of thousands of pounds, with some larger awards reaching around £138,000, suggesting flexible, project-oriented support rather than a fixed small-grant model.
