Our mission
We fund, support and contribute to organisations, groups and individuals that deliver impactful educational opportunities for young people in London.
Who we fund
Are you an organisation with a youth-focused project, or a young person looking for support with your education? We offer funding for organisations creating opportunities for others as well as individual bursaries to help young people succeed. Find out more about who we fund below.
Our criteria
Our grants enable young people aged under 25 in inner London, particularly those from disadvantaged or low-income backgrounds, to access educational opportunities. Your project must also clearly align with at least one of our grant-making themes.
The 14 inner London Boroughs where Portal Trust funding can be applied are:
Camden, Greenwich, Hackney, Hammersmith & Fulham, Islington, Kensington & Chelsea, Lambeth, Lewisham, Newham, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Wandsworth, Westminster, and the City of London.
