About the Trust
Sarah Butler-Sloss founded the Aurora Trust in 1989.
The Trust’s primary focus is tackling climate change through its programme areas, sustainable farming, stopping deforestation, home energy efficiency, connecting people with nature, it’s support of Ashden – Climate Solutions in Action, and its investments. The Trust partners with the JJ Charitable Trust and the Mark Leonard Trust on the Climate Change Collaboration. Its mission is to keep warming within the 1.5oC limit agreed in the Paris Agreement.

What we fund
We publish open grants data. To find out more about what we fund, please visit 360Giving.
Grantmaking process
We do not generally accept unsolicited applications. As a small team we do not have the staff capacity to deal with unsolicited applications. Instead, we identify organisations to support and work with through research, partners, experts in the field and due diligence processes.
We may put out a ‘Call for Proposals’ to expand one of our programme areas. You can sign up for updates to receive an alert when we put out a new call for proposals here.
