**[⌊Invisible grantmakers 2020⌉⌊Invisible grantmakers 2020⌉[Social Partnership Marketing
has published the latest annual edition of its _Invisible Grantmakers_ series.**

 

[The series](http://www.socialpartnershipmarketing.co.uk/) identifies and profiles
significant grant-making trusts that have escaped inclusion in the most widely-used
trust directories and therefore remain ‘invisible’ to the majority of fundraisers.

Compiled primarily as an aid to charities and fundraisers that are already actively
raising grants from trusts and foundations, _Invisible Grantmakers 2020_ details
100 trusts, with a collective income of over £80 million per annum, that are distributing
funds to a wide range of charitable causes.

 

The trusts are both new and well established and have an average age of 17 years,
with none featuring before in earlier editions. Altogether, they have an income 
of over £80m, and collectively distributed over £12m in grants last year.

 

Each entry in _Invisible Grantmakers_ outlines the trust’s giving preferences, with
reference to past grants and stated giving criteria. The latest income, assets and
grant figures are also reported, together with trustee names and full contact details.
High net worth trustees are identified too, as are trustee links to other charities.

 

Editor Robert Pike said:

 

> “As all trust fundraisers will know, the Charity Commission register of charities
> is a great information resource, but it doesn’t yield up all its secrets readily.
> It’s fine for checking on yesterday’s new registrations, or charities in the top
> income bands, but for keeping tabs on older trusts that suddenly receive a large
> bequest, or on grantmakers that may have been misleadingly coded, it seems there
> is no alternative to persistent and repeated monitoring of trusts on an item by
> item basis. For over twenty years we have been ferreting out nuggets of information
> in this way and squirrelling them away in our reports: this nod to the natural
> world has seemed especially appropriate during the quiet of lockdown!”

 

The limited edition report is available as a PDF (£125) or as a hard copy (£132).
