Overview
Segelman Trust funds smaller-scale organisations across the United Kingdom. The first thing to know is that it does not have an open application process, and does not accept unsolicited applications; it seeks new partners through a variety of channels instead. It usually supports organisations with an income of less than £2 million a year. In 2024 its typical grant size was £40,000 a year for its multi-year grants. It offers multi-year, unrestricted or core funding as its default, but also makes project grants, capital grants and development funding. It looks for organisations that build long-term, trusting, supportive relationships with those they work with, and that encourage wider relationship-building and connection.
