Ernest Kleinwort Charitable Trust
EKCT was founded on the 12th March 1963, to provide a formal structure for Ernest and his family to devote time and resources to charitable activities.
Ernest had two great passions in life: conservation of wildlife and the natural environment and the encouragement of youth enterprise and outdoor activity. These ideals along with the founding guidelines to support the family’s home county of Sussex, remain core areas of activity.
EKCT aims to ‘make a difference’. The trustees will consider all applications that fall within the trust’s area of activity from charities that are registered in the UK.
Grants will be considered for start-up costs, core costs, a  specific project (capital expenditure or assistance with running costs), and unrestricted funding where all of the charity’s activities fall within EKCT’s funding remit.
