The Farthing Trust is a family-run grantmaker that describes itself as “sowing seeds of hope,” and it appears to specialize in early-stage support for passionate individuals and small charities rather than large, established institutions. Its giving spans local, national, and international projects, with a strong interest in practical community impact in education, healthcare, human rights, reconciliation, and relief for people in need. The grantee list suggests a focus on grassroots, often founder-led efforts serving vulnerable groups, including children, women, and communities facing poverty or access barriers.
Seed and start-up grants for small projects; likely modest, flexible, and targeted toward early-stage or under-resourced initiatives rather than large multi-year commitments.
Best suited to small, high-impact projects with a clear community benefit and a modest budget. Emphasize early-stage need, concrete outcomes, and how the project will help underserved people in East Anglia, the UK, or internationally; check the trust website for current application guidance or contact details, as grantmaking may be relatively informal.
