Deadline: 28-Feb-21
The Chapman Charitable Trust is seeking applications for its Grant Program to promote physical and mental wellbeing, conserve our natural environment, and increase the accessibility of the arts.
What activities does CCT support?
They focus new grants on charities:
- promoting physical and mental wellbeing;
- conserving our natural environment and promoting the sustainable use of resources;
- increasing the accessibility of the arts, especially for young people.
Funding Information
- Most of their grants are £1,000 or £2,000.
- Larger grants are normally only made to charities under two headings:
- those where the current trustees have a special oversight;
- those originally supported by our benefactor, Marjorie Chapman;
- These larger grants are made on a regular basis, either yearly or half-yearly.
Geographical Restrictions
CCT will support:
- National charities, including Scottish charities, if they operate across the UK.
- Local charities only if their beneficiaries or activities are located in the areas shown in red on the map, i.e. in North Wales or South East England. The South East means Greater London, Herts, Cambs, Essex, Kent, East and West Sussex, Surrey, and Hants.
Which organizations does CCT support?
They only support registered UK charities and if you are not a UK charity then regretfully they cannot consider an application from you (unless you are an educational or research establishment with charitable status).
Examples of applications we will not consider include those related to:
- Individuals and their welfare, whether in the UK or abroad, including sponsorship of education, research, or travel;
- Community Interest Companies (CICs);
- Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs);
- Cooperative Societies and not-for-profit organizations.
When Will You Hear About Your Application?
The trustees meet twice a year, in March and September. Applications received before the beginning of those months will be considered at the relevant meeting. Applications are dealt with as follows:
- You will first receive an automatic email from them immediately after you have submitted an online application if you do not then send them an email.
- Then if your application is successful you will receive a communication by the middle of the month after the meeting of trustees.
Please assume your application was unsuccessful if you do not hear from them.
How often can a Charity Apply?
- They do not generally consider making further grants to successful applicants until at least 18 months have elapsed.
- But you can reapply at any time if your application has been unsuccessful.
- If your application is outside the CCT guidelines or likely never to succeed the trustees will endeavor to notify you.
