Trust List November 2017
The second half of 2017 has seen a real increase in the number of new
grant makers being set up, with a 15% increase in the past six months, compared
to the same time period last year.
Since July 2012
we've only ever seen two editions with 90 or more new grant makers, the last
edition had 100 new grant makers, this one has 103.
With more grant
makers, we inevitably see a greater range of topics of interest; along
with the classic 'relief, education and health', we see trusts interested
in animal welfare, community, conservation, human rights, a range of medical
causes, social welfare and good citizenship, and even support towards volunteer
costs for London charities.
As always, there
are some very wealthy people involved with these new grant makers, with several
very wealthy families included. As always, the wealthiest tend to be
generalists, so there should be something for everyone in this month's
list.
