Grant-making trusts are an important source of income for Tearfund, often providing us with additional income for projects that we cannot fund from our usual budget.
Like individual supporters, trusts can give in a number of different ways, to a wide variety of causes. Some prefer to support specific Tearfund projects in areas of the world close to trustees' hearts. Others prefer to rely on our expertise to see that the money is used where we feel it will have the greatest impact.
Giving to a specific project enables trustees to engage closely with a partner and its beneficiaries in the developing world: trips to meet partners and see work in action are sometimes feasible.
If you represent a grant-making trust and would be interested in giving to Tearfund, or you know of a grant-making trust that we could apply to for funding please contact giving@tearfund.org
