The John Booth Charitable Foundation is a London-based grant-making charity that predominantly makes grants to registered charities in England working in the areas of:
- The Arts - helping various arts organisations to put on performances, exhibitions and social programmes which enhance the quality of life of the communities they serve.
- Christian religion - empowering churches and faith groups to benefit the common good in a variety of ways such as food banks, credit unions and other outreach activities, and
- Education - enabling significant numbers of young people to have access to education and training.
In addition to awarding grants, the Foundation occasionally offers a loan on concessionary terms to a beneficiary, where the beneficiary's use of the funds furthers the objectives of the Foundation.
A small amount of grant funding is also made to individuals. Grants to individuals are largely made to enable study to be undertaken, normally in higher education.
The Foundation maintains contact with both organisations and individuals supported to assess their performance against the its funding criteria after a grant is made.
Please note that the Trust does not have a website. Further information is, however, available on the Charity Commission website.
The Trustees consider all applications from charitable organisations and from individuals known or recommended to them and especially those falling within the areas of education, the Christian faith and the arts. The Trustees meet three or four times a year to consider short listed applications and decide which of these to support.
Applications may be made at any time in writing.
