T J Virgo Trust

The T J Virgo Trust is a registered charity (number 1116943) established on 23 November 2006 in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, England, governed by three volunteer trustees with no paid staff. It operates exclusively as a grant-making trust, providing stable financial support to UK charities without delivering its own services. Emphasizing robust governance—including policies on complaints, risks, safeguarding, and conflicts—its ethos reflects voluntary stewardship and compliance with English charity law. Lacking a published mission or strategic plan, the trust adopts a generalist approach, funding a broad spectrum of charitable objectives across England and Wales with no thematic specialisms, restrictions, or preferences articulated.

It supports UK-registered charities through unrestricted and core grants, enabling recipients to advance their missions flexibly, whether for projects, operations, or general purposes. There are no exclusions by cause, issue, or beneficiary type, making it a versatile funder for diverse public benefit activities.

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities based in England and Wales, with no specified income, size, or turnover limits—though patterns suggest support for established organizations. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; funding occurs at trustee discretion via an invitation-only process, with no public guidelines, forms, contact details, deadlines, or meeting schedules.

Typical grant amounts and ranges are undisclosed, but annual expenditures (£40,000–£106,000 recently) indicate modest, reliable support without evidence of large awards. Distinctively, it avoids funding individuals, communities directly, capital projects with restrictions, or non-UK entities, positioning it as a low-profile, well-governed source of flexible aid for known charities in the UK landscape.
