Fund policy is directed largely at supporting work at a community level. Grants are rarely given to well funded national charities. Grants are not given to individuals.
Our current fund making priorities are: asylum seekers and refugees, community based initiatives for disadvantaged young people, penal affairs and small development projects in the developing world. While Trustees' policy is to address needs by considering and funding specific projects' costs, Trustees are most sympathetic to funding general running, or core costs. In awarding these types of 'unrestricted' grants Trustees believe that great value can be added, as many charities find fund raising for core costs most difficult. Trustees look to the Hilden staff team to advise applicants on funding alternatives if grant applications cannot be considered or funded.
Applying To The Fund
All applicants to the Fund are requested to complete an online application form outlining their request for funds, and their legal and financial status. Without this accompanying form all applications are regarded as enquiries. All grant recipients are expected to send a report on how they have made use of their grant within a year of which the grant date was awarded. Applicants should feel confident in contacting the Hilden office for advice - Office No 0207 603 1525
