Formerly called
City Parochial Foundation

Trust for London is an independent charitable foundation which aims to tackle poverty and inequality in London and its root causes.[1] It was established in 1891 as the City Parochial Foundation and changed its name to Trust for London in 2010.[2][3]

It achieves its aims by funding charitable work through its Central Fund, making substantial grants every year for the relief of poverty and inequality. As an independent funder it is particularly interested in work which is viewed as challenging. One of its long standing principles is to support activities which government will not or is unlikely to fund.
