Deadline: 1-Sep-20
Applications are now open for the Kelly Family Charitable Trust 2020 grant program.
The trust has decided to prioritize its funding in favor of charities whose activities involve all or most family members where possible, in initiatives that support and encourage the family to work as a cohesive unit in tackling problems that face one or more of its members.
The Kelly Family Charitable Trust is a grant-giving body founded in 2004 by members of the Kelly family. They have funded charities working in fields including early intervention, mediation, prison services, and services for families affected by sexual abuse, physical abuse, and domestic violence, among others.
Objective
- The objective is to reinforce the benefit and support that family members as a unit can give to each other.
Funding Information
- Grants will generally be worth up to £5,000, but trustees will consider requests for higher amounts.
- The trust prefers to support charities whose income is below £500,000. However, larger charities with pioneering pilot projects will be considered.
Areas
The three areas of activity that the charity wishes to support are:
- Interventions that support families and help them in ways that prevent the fracture of the family unit, eg practical family support, relationship counseling, mediation
- Families where sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, alcohol abuse, and drug abuse threaten the integrity of the family unit
- Prisoners and in particular their families, during and after the period of imprisonment.
Exclusions
The following will not be considered:
- Non-registered charities
- Individual requests for grants
- National charities (only regional projects will be considered)
- General appeals
- Organizations with specific religious or political agendas
