The Trustee For Sir David Martin Foundation
Low
Annual Giving
$500K
Grant Range
$10K – $5.0M
Tips for Applicants
Given the foundation's focus on a single major program (Triple Care Farm), direct funding to external organisations is unlikely. If applying, focus on programs that align with their mission of youth addiction support and demonstrate clear outcomes data. Contact the foundation directly to discuss potential partnerships.
Giving Philosophy
This family foundation takes a direct, hands-on approach to helping young people overcome addiction by funding the Triple Care Farm program, which provides comprehensive residential treatment, withdrawal services, and aftercare. The foundation values measurable outcomes in reducing substance use, improving housing stability, and increasing employment and education engagement among vulnerable youth.
