Grants up to £10,000 for UK registered charities to fund special projects or the purchase of equipment that will benefit their charitable purposes.
The Foundation’s main areas of interest are:
• The sick and disadvantaged.
• The elderly, and
• People with disabilities.
UK registered charities may apply for a grant of between £1,000 and £10,000. Larger grants are occasionally made. The average grant is around £2,700.
The Foundation meets twice annually, in May and November, to consider applications. Application rounds usually open at 9am on 1 March and 1 September each year.
Only the first 100 applications will go forward to the Trustees for consideration at each meeting. Once the limit has been reached, the application cycle will be closed, which is normally within two days.
Applicants must register at the Foundation's website to access the online application form. Only online applications are accepted.
