Grants, generally for between £2,000 and £10,000, are available for local and national charities in the UK but applications for projects and services that benefit the residents of Dorset and West Hampshire are favoured.
The Alice Ellen Cooper-Dean Charitable Foundation is a Dorset-based grant-making charity that provides grants for registered charities working in the following fields:
- The advancement of education
- The advancement of religion
- The relief of poverty, distress and sickness
- Other charitable purposes that benefit the community.
Please note that the Foundation does not have a website. Further information is, however, available on the Charity Commission website.
The Foundation considers applications every 3 months and will occasionally ask to visit a project prior to making a decision on grant support.
Applications may be made at any time in writing and should include:
- A summary of the proposed project
- A budget for the project
- A copy of the applicant’s annual accounts, and
- Evidence of any fundraising the applicant has undertaken towards the proposed project
