Will the Trust fund all my project?
Trustees may offer part funding towards a specific element of your application. Alternatively, they may award a conditional grant where funding will only be released once the specific conditions have been met. These could be:
Raising additional funds in order to complete the project
Obtaining planning or other permissions such as a licence that are needed to proceed
Grants are not usually made where local authorities or other public bodies are responsible for funding, though sometimes joint funding can be agreed.
Trustees will NOT support the following
Projects or beneficiaries that are completely or largely outside the area of benefit
Recurrent expenditure or running costs
Ongoing costs, maintenance or deficits
Repeat annual applications for similar projects
Costs that should be funded from other sources e.g. public bodies
Applications from organisations that have statutory responsibilities such as local authorities, hospitals, schools, unless it is a project that is over and above their core activities
The purchase of land or buildings
Organisations that are working to make a profit for shareholders, partners or sole owners, nor to individuals.
Individuals
Grants will not normally be made to organisations with excess ‘free’ reserves
