Deadline: 19-May-22
The Ernest Kleinwort Charitable Trust is inviting UK charities for the Medium Grant program.
Ernest Kleinwort and his wife Joan had two great passions in life: the conservation of wildlife and the natural environment, and the encouragement of youth enterprise and outdoor activity. These ideals along with the founding guidelines to support the family’s home county of Sussex, remain core areas of activity.

- Care of the elderly
