Applying for grants
Making an Application
The Trustees only consider applications from registered charities; they do not consider appeals from individuals or from registered charities for the benefit of named individuals. Please note there is no application form. Applications must be
sent in hard copy and NOT by email.


On-going commitments, combined with the fact that the Trustees are taking an increasingly active role in identifying projects to support, means that uncommitted funds are limited and it is seldom possible to make grants in response to unsolicited appeals.

If applicants consider that their work might fall within the Trust's grant-making policy, click areas of interest to double-check, the following basic information is required:

1. Charity name and charity registration number
2. An outline of the project for which funding is sought
3. A budget and costings for the life time of the project
4. Details of the amount already raised, or irrevocably committed, towards the target
5. A copy of the most recent annual report and audited accounts

Applicants should endeavour to set out the essential details of a project on no more than two sides of A4 paper, with more detailed information being presented in the form of appendices.

If you are a Methodist Church applying for funding, in addition to the requirements shown in points 1-5 above, click here for further information.

In normal circumstances, papers received before the middle of February, May, August and November may be considered in March, June, September and December respectively. Visits to appeals may be made by the Secretary and Trustees.

All appeals are acknowledged and the applicants advised that if they do not receive a reply by a specified date it has not been possible for the Trustees to make a grant.
