The D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust

Dame Bridget was the grand-daughter of Richard D’Oyly Carte, the theatrical impresario who famously built and opened the Savoy Theatre in 1881 and the Savoy Hotel in 1889.

Dame Bridget D’Oyly Carte (1908-1985) established The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust in 1972 to support her personal interests which included her enjoyment of theatre, music and gardening, and, in particular, helping disadvantaged and disabled children. Today, the Trust continues her legacy through its three grant programmes: the arts, medical welfare and the environment.

The Trust makes grants which are usually in the range £500 - £6,000 and there are three grant-making meetings held annually which normally take place in March, July, and November. The majority of the Trust’s grants are single grants over a one-year period. The Trustees will consider applications for core costs or projects.
