Deadline: 30-Nov-21
The Oli Leigh Trust has recently announced its grant program for charity registered in England and Wales.
The objects of the Trust are to advance such charitable purposes for the public benefit in England and Wales as the trustees see fit from time to time, in particular, but not limited to, the reduction in suicide rates among young people, by making grants to other charities and not for profit organisations who work for the public benefit in the area of suicide prevention.
The Trust is governed by the trustees who have a duty to apply the Trust’s assets to advance the objects. The trustees have ultimate responsibility for all grant-making decisions.
Funding Priorities
The trustees current funding priorities are around:
- Supporting young people affected by mental health issues;
- Helping other organisations provide suicide prevention training;
- Helping other organisations provide young people with mental health support and promote wellbeing
The trustees may award grants that further the Trust’s objects and are an appropriate use of the Trust’s funds.
Funding Information
- The trustees will usually make grants starting from £500 but each application will be judged on its merits
The Trust will Fund
- All grants awarded must be used to cover costs of the project for which the grant has been made and must not be used to fund non-project specific costs including salaries, capital expenditure or other overheads.
- Grants awarded may fund any proportion of the cost of an application, up to 100%
Eligibility Criteria
- The Trust welcomes applications from a wide range of organisations, although the trustees are particularly keen to support small or medium sized organisations.
- Applications will not be considered from any organisation in which a trustee has an interest or beneficial interest.
