The Will Charitable Trust provides unrestricted and projects grants up to £20,000 for UK registered and exempt charities working in the areas of:
- The care of and services for blind people, and the prevention and cure of blindness.
- The care of people with learning disabilities in a way that provides lifelong commitment, a family environment, and the maximum choice of activities and lifestyle, and

In general, applicants are expected to evidence that they have a proven track record of successful work in their field of operation or, in the case of newer charities, convincing evidence of ability. Applications from smaller charities tend to be prioritised for funding. The Trust may expect an element of matched funding to be in place.
The deadline for applications is Friday 20 November 2026 for the Trust’s meeting in February 2027.
