Kitty and Daniel Nabarro Charitable Trust

The Kitty and Daniel Nabarro Charitable Trust is a family-rooted grant-making charity registered in England and Wales (number 1002786), dedicated to relieving poverty, advancing education and medicine, and supporting other charitable causes under English law. With a longstanding commitment to national-scale philanthropy, it favors major UK institutions and initiatives that deliver sustainable, measurable impact, reflecting values of selectivity, expertise, and broad societal benefit rather than local or micro-level efforts.

It prioritizes project grants for health-related causes like mental health awareness (e.g., OCD Action's educational films and databases, Nip in the Bud's child mental health programs), cancer research (Sarcoma UK), disease outreach, education, and poverty relief. Beneficiaries include people with illnesses, children, and the wider public, funding structured activities such as campaigns, research, awareness, and support services through established national charities, occasionally channeled overseas via UK intermediaries.

Eligible applicants are solely UK-registered charities with national reach, proven governance, and capacity for large-scale impact; it prefers medium-to-large organizations without formal income thresholds but shuns small, local, or unincorporated groups. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—grants are awarded proactively at trustees' biannual meetings based on prior relationships, with no public process, forms, or deadlines.

Typical grants range from £10,000 to £25,000 for outcome-driven projects, excluding core costs, capital, unrestricted funding, or individuals. Distinctively, this understated trust acts as a steady, repeat supporter of specialist national charities in health, education, and poverty, emphasizing high-impact potential over open competition.
