Grants

JLCT is a proactive funder, finding organisations through research and referral, that work in our four key areas: Community, Skills & Education, Young People and Homelessness.

We do not run open calls or accept unsolicited applications, but often partner with specialist funders who manage open application rounds, to learn from and reach local groups.

Key partners include the current John Laing Group and community foundations across the UK. JLCT also supports groups nominated by former and current employees with small grants.

Many give their time to help grass roots and national organisations which help others.

Our approach is to work with partners that reflect Sir John Laing's values, and the Trust's commitment to equity and inclusion and environmental responsibility.

More information about our funding priorities is available in How We Fund below.
