UK Toremet Ltd (UKT) makes grants to charities whose activities are charitable under English law.
UKT maintains a list of approved recipients to which it may make grants on which appropriate due diligence checks have been completed (the “Approved List”).
An organisation wishing to be entered onto the Approved List, must complete a Sign-up Form and agree to UKT’s General Terms and Conditions of Grants.
An organisation must be able to show that some or all of their activities are charitable according to English charity law, even if you do not operate in the UK.
UKT will only support activities in countries in which we have a suitable representative, able to assess and monitor organisations and projects for which funding has been provided by UKT. Currently such representatives exist in the UK, US, Israel and certain other countries around the world.
Please read sections 2 and 3 of the Charities Act 2011 by following this link and decide whether your organisation, and the activities for which you may consider applying for a grant, qualify.
UKT aims to donate, by way of grant, the majority of funds that it receives. A small proportion, normally no more than 5%, of donations received, or an amount up to the amount of Gift Aid received on eligible donations, will be retained by UKT in order to cover costs.
UKT receives a significant number of donations from donors who, at the point of donation to UKT, make an expression of wishes for the donations to be used for a particular organisation, purpose or activity. Notwithstanding such expression of wishes, the charity trustees of UKT retain the right to make independent decisions about whom to support with our grants at their sole, absolute discretion to ensure that they further UKT’s objects; although the charity trustees do endeavour to apply donations received in accordance with the expression of wishes of the donors. (No grants will be awarded to charities that are not on the Approved List, irrespective of any expression of wishes.)
There is no charge for allocations from UKT Charity Accounts.
*Additional direct costs (eg. credit card fees, 3rd party platform fees, etc.) are not covered by the standard retention/contribution to costs.
