The Marr Munning Trust
We are an independent grant making trust supporting charitable projects in the Indian Subcontinent, South East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
We wish to make a real difference to the lives of people in some of the poorest communities in the world. We believe that the most long-lasting solutions are likely to be those rooted in the communities themselves. We target our limited funds towards registered, independent charitable organisations / not for profit companies with an annual income of between £25,000 and £1m. Most of the organisations we support have an annual income of much less than £1m.
The Trust was founded in 1970 by Frank Harcourt-Munning to alleviate poverty and suffering in the developing world.
We do not accept unsolicited applications for funding, however, to be added to our database of charities and not-for-profits you can submit an organisational profile. This database will be used to identify potential future grantees.
We receive large numbers of profiles so, in order to process them and contact shortlisted organisations, we only accept submissions for three months each year.
The Trustees have decided to not open the submission window for 2025.
The Trust has received far more profiles from organisations likely to be funded than we have funds available.
In order to not disadvantage those organisations, the Trustees will use the 2025 period to focus on previously submitted profiles before accepting new ones.
The Trust funds education and livelihoods projects in sub-Saharan Africa, Indian Subcontinent and South East Asia.
The Trust is proud to have supported so many great organisations and projects. We currently have around 25 grantees with awards totalling just over £1m.
