Trust for London is a place-based funder focused on making London fairer by supporting organisations working on economic and social justice, especially those helping low-paid, precarious, and marginalized Londoners. Its grantmaking strongly reflects fair work and legal empowerment themes, including workers’ rights, access to advice and representation, decent work, and reducing the poverty premium. In addition to grants, it also uses social investment and secondments to strengthen mission-driven organizations and improve integration outcomes for people born outside the UK.
Offers open project and unrestricted grants, plus a separate social investment program and funded secondments. Funding is primarily London-based, with grant sizes varying from small community awards to larger multi-year strategic grants; social investments range roughly from $50k to $1m.
