The Daniell Trust has a long history of supporting charities primarily working in two key areas:
The care and education of children or others with severe learning difficulties- Environmental conservation charities, including those with a wildlife focus combined with local community engagement
The Trustees are keen to identify projects that combine these two key areas, for example initiatives which combine environmental objectives with significant community benefit. The fund’s priority interest is projects that improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people with complex special educational needs through connections to nature and the environment.
The Trustees have decided to launch a new programme of grants for 2023. The fund previously distributed small grants but is now looking to spend the remainder of the assets over the next few years on more significant, sustainable projects that will leave a lasting legacy to the Trust’s founders. Grants of between £50,000-£250,000 are now available.
Awards will now become a two-stage process requiring applicants to complete an initial Expression of Interest form. If selected, organisations will then be invited to apply for grant support.
Please note the Trust will only support charities that work in England, Wales or Scotland, and which have an annual turnover of at least £250,000.
Deadline for expressions of interest: 31 March 2023.
