About the funder
KMCT (The Kristina Martin Charitable Trust) was founded in remembrance of Kristina Martin, daughter of Thomas and Jacqueline Martin, and awards grants across the UK to benefit the public.

Priority themes 
The Trust supports charities in a wide range of areas, with particular interest in mental health support, community services, welfare, and activities benefitting vulnerable or disadvantaged groups.

Exclusions 
The Trust gives grants only to registered UK charities (not CICs). They receive many unsolicited approaches but cannot respond to all due to limited funds and administrative constraints.

Deadlines
KMCT typically opens grant applications in November–December. Their next round is expected in November 2025.

Application process
Applicants must wait for a formal invitation or announcement of the grant round. They should prepare a solid application aligned with the Trust’s themes. Because demand far exceeds available funds, strong proposals are essential.

Tips to apply

• Show clear public benefit and measurable outcomes

• Emphasise work with mental health or vulnerable people

• Be concise and focused, as the Trust can’t process all communications

• Avoid overly large asks; smaller, well‑managed grants are more competitive
