Small and larger grants, usually for up to £60,000, are available to UK Roman Catholic charitable organisations for work that advances Roman Catholicism in the UK and/or overseas.
Sir Harold Hood’s Charitable Trust usually awards around 80 grants annually to UK charitable organisations for Roman Catholic causes. Eligible organisations must be operating in the UK, but their projects can be in the UK or overseas (the Charity Commission lists a number of countries in which the Trust operates, although this is not considered to be an exclusive list).
Grants have been previously awarded under the following headings:
- Aid
- Churches
- Education
- Homeless
- Hospitals
- Missionary
- Nursing
- Prisoners
- Retreat Centre
- Schools
- Youth
The Trustees consider that the Trust has adequate resources to continue for the foreseeable future.
Please note that the Trust does not have a website. Further information is, however, available on the Charity Commission website.
Applications may be made at any time in writing.
