Charitable Giving Criteria
Over the years The Maple Trust has made gifts to a wide range of charities working both in Scotland and overseas.
Following a review in 2025, the focus of the Trust’s grant making is now on the following criteria:
- Children and Young People – Scotland-wide
The Trust will consider applications for grants from charities registered in the United Kingdom, with projects based in Scotland and with an annual income of less that £500,000.
We also restrict applications to specific groups of local authority regions on a rotational basis.
(Please click here for further details).
We will accept funding requests up to £10k.
The Trust does not normally support:
- Political organisations
- Retrospective grants
- Student, personal travel or expeditions
- General capital appeals or mail shots
In exceptional circumstances the Trust may consider making grants to individuals.
