64 Trust

The 64 Trust is a grant-making charitable incorporated organisation established in August 2020 (charity number 1190683) and based in Liverpool, England. Managed by four trustees with robust governance policies on safeguarding, risk, and conflicts, it exists solely to provide discretionary grants to UK-registered charities and not-for-profits advancing charitable purposes under UK law. Its generalist approach lacks thematic priorities, beneficiary focuses, or strategic outcomes, embodying flexibility and broad sector support without named founders, visions, or public engagement.

It funds a wide spectrum of charitable activities, including project-specific needs like ICT equipment for schools, capital costs, and unrestricted or core support, with no restrictions on interventions, philosophies, or cost types. While open to any UK charitable work in principle, grants evidence a primary focus on Merseyside (Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens, Wirral), targeting established organisations such as local schools and regional not-for-profits rather than grassroots groups, individuals, or very large entities.

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities or academic institutions based in the UK; unsolicited applications are not accepted, with funding via direct invitations only and no published process, forms, or deadlines. Typical grants range from £5,000 to £36,000, with annual expenditure up to £637,000 distributed solely as grants—no direct projects, advocacy, or non-UK work. Distinctively opaque with no recipient examples or decision criteria, it suits UK charities seeking flexible, invitation-based support amid its low-transparency, trustee-discretionary model.
