APPLYING FOR GRANTS
Thank you for taking the time to apply to the Edward Cadbury Charitable Trust for a grant for your registered charity. Grant applications are usually assessed within a three-month timescale and the Trustees will review and assess each application against the Trust’s objectives and the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidelines.
Ready to apply for a grant? Some helpful points to consider:
• You will need your registered charity number
• Be clear and concise
• Provide a detailed breakdown of how much funding you require and how it will be spent, include a quote for the project if you have one
• Explain why your funding request fits with the Trust’s objectives
• Share details of how the funding will benefit the local Midlands community, who and how many people will benefit
• Attach supporting documents e.g. latest annual report and accounts for the charity
• Direct us to your website or social media page where we can see the great work you are doing.
The Trust usually makes grants which vary in size between £5,000 and £20,000. These are normally awarded on a one-off basis for a specific purpose or part of a project. If you have received funding from the Trust in the past you are welcome to reapply, please note our aim is to support rather than be relied on for funding, enabling us to support a wide breadth of charities each year.
On occasion we will work with a charity on a larger grant up to £500,000. These grants are made on an exceptional basis where there is a strong fit with the Trust’s long-term interests in social welfare, music, nature, education and training combined with the Quaker values of simplicity, equality, justice, peace and care of the environment.
If your application is successful, you will be asked to complete an Outcome Report Form. You can download the form below.
