Shortly after its foundation in November 1980, Jubilate Hymns Ltd was linked to the newly-formed Jubilate Hymns Charitable Trust, set up in May 1981, whose purpose has been to distribute its income (chiefly drawn from such of the company's profits as the directors agree to transfer to the Trust) 'among such charitable societies, objects, or purposes as the Trustees think fit.' They have a particular regard to developing the skills of 'writers and composers of Christian hymns and songs.'

When the Song & Hymn Writers Foundation was formed in 2016, the Jubilate Trust was closed and its activities and purposes absorbed into the work of the new charity.
