Sir Halley Stewart Trust
The Sir Halley Stewart Trust has a particular focus on supporting innovative research projects and new pioneering development projects, primarily through the provision of salary costs.
It funds medical, social and religious projects, with education being a theme that runs across all three grant-making areas. Work funded in the social programme recently includes child and family welfare, housing and mental health.
The 9 October 2025 round is open to new applications. Currently, this grant round is due to close on 30 June 2025, but may need to close earlier due to the volume of applications being received.
Applicants are encouraged to discuss prospective applications with the Trust in advance.
