About Us

The Gordon Memorial College Trust Fund (GMCTF) was established more than a century ago and works to promote education for the people of Sudan and South Sudan by giving small grants to individuals and organisations. 

In recent years, the GMCTF has focused its support on:

• Supporting organisations working to improve access to higher education in Sudan and South Sudan, and

• Supporting individuals who are undertaking postgraduate study in countries neighbouring Sudan and South Sudan, or in the UK, and who intend to return to work in Sudan or South Sudan on completion of study

The GMCTF is a small charity and is rarely able to meet the full cost of any project, or any individual’s study. Preference is given to applications for funds where the applicant also has funds from other sources. 

According to the terms of the charitable bequests which underpin GMCTF’s activities, a significant proportion of GMCTF’s funding must be used specifically for the support of women’s education.

The GMCTF is a charity, registered in the UK. It is administered by a group of trustees and an executive committee.
