The Eranda Rothschild Foundation is a UK registered charitable trust that awards revenue grants to registered charities working in the fields of education, medical research and the arts, with an emphasis on the following areas:
The Arts: the Foundation supports the education and outreach work of arts charities and prioritises work which is well known to the Foundation.
Education: the Foundation considers applications from universities and other charities to support young professionals in fields including medicine, science and business. It supports disadvantaged young people and apprenticeships.
Health, Welfare and Medical Research: the Foundation supports original research and the continuation of existing research. Welfare is also considered under the medical theme and the priority is to support work well known to the Trustees.
In addition, social welfare is supported, especially work known to the trustees. If charities and Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs) work locally, priority is given to those in Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire.
There are no minimum or maximum grant award levels. Past awards have varied significantly, from under £5,000 to over £200,000.
Further information, guidance and an online application form can be found on the Foundation's website.
The Foundation operates 3 application deadlines each year:
- 30 April for consideration by the end of July.
- 31 August for consideration by the end of November, and
- 31 December for consideration by the end of March in the following year.
