Our Work
The ALBORADA Trust’s work is defined by its commitment to supporting UK-registered charities that make a positive difference around the world.
We award grants to support and promote excellence in diverse sectors.
Our Sectors
The ALBORADA Trust supports a broad range of charities, providing grants to those that demonstrate a solid track record, sound governance, performance metrics, and high-impact results.
Our aim is to work with amazing charities and inspirational people to act as a catalyst, whether it be a multi-year medical research project or a small community project. Each sector and project represents a unique opportunity to effect change.
​
The ALBORADA Trust supports project specific activities. These grants are for a specific project or area of work, which has a defined scope of work, timescale, aims and objectives. It is very rare for the ALBORADA Trust to support unrestricted work, operating/core costs or capital projects.
Further, The ALBORADA Trust does not fund the salaries of specific posts e.g. Operations Manager etc. This is for the simple reasons that, if we are not able to renew our support, we don't want to put a member of your staff at risk.

“MSF is most grateful to The ALBORADA Trust for its continued support. In addition to work they have supported in Haiti and Nigeria, The Trust has agreed the continuation of substantial multi-year grants towards MSF’s work in refugee camps in Lebanon, South Sudan and Bangladesh. The work they support really makes the difference between people accessing medical care or not.”
