The Talisman Charitable Trust focuses on relieving poverty and hardship in the United Kingdom by funding organizations that apply on behalf of individuals in need. It is an intermediary grantmaker rather than a direct-to-public funder, working through local authorities, Citizens Advice Bureaux, and other charities or nonprofits to support emergency or discretionary welfare assistance. The trust appears to be highly targeted and practical, with grants aimed at helping vulnerable individuals meet urgent needs.
Discretionary grants made to eligible intermediary organizations; no unsolicited proposals. Funding is UK-based and appears to be small-to-moderate, needs-based support distributed through trusted referral organizations rather than an open application process.
Applications must be submitted by eligible organizations on behalf of individuals, not by individuals themselves. Likely applicants include local authorities, Citizens Advice Bureaux, and other registered charities/nonprofits providing hardship relief; confirm current eligibility and process on the trust’s website before applying.
