Trusthouse Charitable Foundation, founded in 1997, is a medium sized grantmaker distributing around £2.2 million a year to projects around the UK.
The grants target small, local projects working to address community issues in areas of extreme Urban Deprivation or remote, socio-economically deprived Rural Areas. Organisations need to have a demonstrable track record of success.
Under these two main aims, are grants are for projects working under the general headings of Community Support; Arts, Heritage and Education; Disability and Healthcare.
Trusthouse Charitable Foundation have announced that following a review of their criteria by the trustees, their three main grants programmes are as follows:
• Small Grants: core, salaries and project grants of up to £5,000 for organisations with an annual income under £100,000. Capital grants of up to £5,000 for organisations with an annual income under £250,000.
Designed to help the smallest groups who work directly within their area of need, our Small Grants can deliver a final decision within 6 weeks of receipt of application.
