Grant News
The Trusthouse Charitable Foundation is currently accepting applications for its Small and Major Grants programmes, aimed at supporting UK-based charitable organisations addressing deprivation in urban and rural communities. These grants are designed to fund core costs, salaries, running expenses, and project costs for organisations with a demonstrable track record of success in tackling local issues.
The Small Grants programme offers single-year grants ranging from £2,000 to £10,000, targeting organisations with an annual income of up to £250,000. Projects must focus on community support and be located in areas within the bottom 15% (urban) or 50% (rural) of the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). Applicants are required to secure 50% of the total project costs from other sources.
The Major Grants programme provides single-year grants between £10,000 and £50,000, and multi-year grants up to £100,000 over three years, for organisations with an annual income up to £500,000. These grants focus on family support initiatives, including early intervention, assistance for families coping with addiction, and support for prisoners' families. Applicants must demonstrate that their work is conducted in areas of extreme urban deprivation or deprived rural districts, as defined by the IMD.
Applications for both programmes are accepted on a rolling basis with no fixed deadlines. Small Grants decisions are typically made within eight weeks, while Major Grants involve a two-stage process, with decisions made at quarterly Grants Committee meetings. Interested organisations should complete the online eligibility quiz and, if eligible, proceed with the application process via the Trusthouse Charitable Foundation's website.
