Toby and Regina Wyles Charitable Trust

The Toby and Regina Wyles Charitable Trust is an endowed grant-making charity registered in England and Wales (Charity No. 1118376), established by principal donors Mr. Andrew Tobias Wyles and Mrs. Regina Wyles. With three trustees, it advances education, religion, relief of persons in need, hardship or distress, and other charitable purposes, embodying broad philanthropic values through a flexible, responsive ethos that prioritizes stewardship, long-term impact, and discretion in supporting both individuals and organizations across diverse fields like social welfare, poverty alleviation, environmental conservation, heritage preservation, animal protection, and education.

It funds a wide array of initiatives, including unrestricted support, project costs, capacity building, direct relief for individuals (e.g., Kennedy Lemayian, Bernard Lesirin), and organizational efforts such as humanitarian aid (International Rescue Committee), sustainable agriculture (Soil Association), horticulture education (RHS), and wildlife conservation (Tusk Trust). There are no rigid thematic restrictions, allowing generalist interventions from immediate relief to environmental stewardship.

Eligible applicants include UK-based charities, community groups, and individuals operating in England, Wales, or nationally across the UK, with no specified income, size, or entity restrictions—unsolicited applications from any qualifying group are welcome. Typical grants range from £5,000 to £25,000, though amounts vary.

Applications are submitted via email or post on a rolling basis, with no deadlines or fixed processes; proposals should clearly align with the trust's objects, detailing needs, budgets, and impact. Distinctive for its breadth, absence of exclusions beyond core purposes, and dual support for people and institutions, it stands out as a versatile funder emphasizing trustee-led responsiveness over bureaucracy.
