The Shipwrights' charitable grants may be divided into three broad groups:
- Grants to other Maritime orientated charities such as the Marine Society and Sea Cadets and Fairbridge, various seafarers' missions and welfare associations, schools with strong maritime links, and the headquarter's funds of youth and sail training organisations.
- Bursaries for young people to go sail training or on Outward Bound courses. The majority of these bursaries are allocated through Tall Ships with the opportunity for Liverymen of the Company to nominate suitable candidates .
- Response to appeals. Indication of where these grants are made can be seen from “Last Year’s Grants”. The emphasis of the Education and Charities Committee is to make grants in support of longer term educational benefit to young people in the maritime environment.
