Grants generally for £500 and under for small to medium sized registered charities in the Bristol area supporting children, the elderly, educational initiatives and the homeless.
The Burges Salmon Charitable Trust primarily considers applications from charities operating in Bristol and the surrounding area which support charitable projects in the community. Awards are based on the merits of the applicant's cause and its financial situation. The Trust generally supports small to medium-sized charities rather than large national charities.
Projects involving children, the elderly, education and homelessness, among other initiatives, tend to be favoured.
Applications are invited in writing. Letters of application should include:
- The work of the organisation applying for grant support.
- The project it is requesting grant support for, and
- How any grant awarded would be used.
