Grants, generally for between £2,500 and £25,000, are available to recognised national charities working in the UK and/or overseas in the areas of culture, heritage, conservation, education, healthcare, medical research and the provision of sports facilities.
The Peter Stormonth Charitable Trust has the scope to make donations to any charitable body, association or organisation in the UK (where most of its funding is directed) or worldwide at the discretion of its trustees, with a particular emphasis on:
• Culture.
• Education.
• Healthcare.
• Heritage and conservation
• Medical research.
• Sports facilities, and
• Support for Armed Forces Veterans.
The Trust’s policy is to give grants only to recognised national charities and to local charities of which the trustees have first-hand knowledge that they are properly and efficiently managed.
Due to the heavy demand on its limited resources, the Trust is unable to guarantee a response to all unsolicited approaches, whether written or by email.
Ongoing -Trustees meet twice a year to review requests for grant support.
