Deadline: 1-Oct-22
The PH Holt Foundation is pleased to announce the Main Grant Programme to create a better future for the people of Merseyside.
The PH Holt Foundation is named in honour of Philip Henry Holt, who, with his brother Alfred, founded the Ocean Steam Ship Company Ltd. in 1865. The brothers were great philanthropists, establishing some of Liverpool’s most cherished educational and arts institutions, which endure to this day. Through their support for local causes, they sought to improve everyday life for Liverpudlians and ship workers alike.
Priority Themes
- Creating opportunities for people to contribute to their community
- Enabling people to overcome barriers
- Widening access to education for all ages
- Increasing engagement in the arts for excluded groups
- Encouraging care of the natural or built environment
Funding Information
- Grants range from £1,000 to £10,000. However, there is no standard amount since trustees consider each application on its merit.
