About The Trust

The Evelyn Trust is a grant-making charity supporting medical research and health and wellbeing projects in Cambridgeshire

Since 2003 we have awarded over £24 million to biomedical researchers and charitable organisations. Each year, we hope to make grants totalling between £500,000 and £1.5m. We consider applications for any amount, up to about £250,000.

Established as a charity in 1920, The Evelyn Trust owned and managed the Evelyn Hospital in Cambridge. In 2003 the hospital was sold and the funds invested. From these funds we make grants to support medical research and health and wellbeing projects in Cambridgeshire. We support a broad range of projects. The Trust is increasingly interested in medical research and health and wellbeing projects that deliver transformational change, especially pilot or demonstration projects.

Grants are ‘one- off’ for a particular project and are available to non-profit making organisations, not individuals. We seek projects for which funding from The Evelyn Trust is significant in the context of the project and makes the difference to the project’s success. Funding can be for capital and people costs relating to frontline work. The Evelyn Trust is a charity (number 232891) and a company limited by guarantee (number 166995) registered in England and Wales. Registered office (not for routine correspondence): 50-60 Station Road, Cambridge, CB1 2JH.
