Apply For Funding

Qualifying Category

This is the most important box to complete in the Application Form because it will decide whether or not your application does meet with the charitable purposes defined for the Trust.

If your application does not meet one of these five criteria, it will be rejected without further consideration. Likewise, if the sum asked for is above £25,000, the application will not be considered. Please note that meeting one of the five categories does not guarantee funding as awards are made at the discretion of Trustees and their decision is final.

The Trust will not fund individuals or commercial activity nor can it sponsor you if you are undertaking an event to raise money for a charity.
