Deadline: Ongoing
The Noel Buxton Trust is currently accepting applications for its Africa Grants, with an aim to support and protect street children, and help them find safe and sustainable livelihoods.
The Trust would welcome applications that demonstrate a commitment to strengthening community based organisations and ensuring the voice of poor and marginalised women and men are properly heard and respected.
Grants Information
The maximum grant is £5,000 per year for up to three years.
Eligibility Criteria
- Trustees tend to offer grants to smaller, grass-roots organisations and do not generally respond to appeals from large and well-supported charities.
- The Trustees welcome applications from diaspora led organisations based and registered in the UK.
- The Trust is willing to consider direct applications from registered civil society organisations in Africa or UK based charities which might be diaspora organisations based in the UK.
- Applications need to be made in English.
Geographical Focus
- The Trustees fund work in Africa. At present they favour projects based in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Uganda, Sudan and South Sudan. Priority will be given to work with communities living in urban slums and semi-arid regions where economic hardship is most extreme.
- The Trustees would welcome applications from Sahelian countries as long as they can be submitted in English.
How to Apply
Applicants must send a short letter (1-2 pages) via post and also include:
- budget for current and following year
- details of funding already received, promised or applied for from other sources
- latest annual report / accounts in the shortest available form
