Trust’s Response to Covid-19
The Trustees are still accepting applications both in response to the current pandemic but also for projects looking to deliver longer terms results. All requests for funding on behalf of a charity must still be made by completing and submitting the Charitable Organisation Application Form on this website. Please ensure that your application covers how your project can be effective and operational during this period of uncertainty.
The Allan and Nesta Ferguson Charitable Trust was set up in 1979 by their son and daughter in law, John and Elnora. Its objectives have closely followed the interests of the Ferguson family in their commitment to education, peace and development in the Third World. In 1997, the substantial holding of Taylor and Francis shares became valuable when the publishing company was floated, and its subsequent merger with Informa further enhanced the value of the shares in the Trust. Since then, more than £40 million has been distributed to a range of charities working in the UK and overseas.
