The Baily Thomas Charitable Fund is seeking applications for its grant to aid the research into learning disability and to aid the care and relief of those affected by learning disability by making grants to voluntary organisations working in this field.
The Baily Thomas Charitable Fund was established in 1970 under the authority of the Court of Protection in London on behalf of Mr Frank Bruce Baily Thomas, who was mentally disabled. It was to receive shares with an approximate value of £780,000 and whose objects would be mainly
- research into the causes of mental handicap and mental illness and
- promoting the care and alleviation of those who suffered from these disabilities.
Funding Information
Grants are awarded for amounts from £250 and depend on a number of factors including the purpose, the total funding requirement and the potential sources of other funds including, in some cases, matching funding.
Eligibility Criteria
- Learning Disabilities Learning disabilities (intellectual disabilities), and autism are our priorities for funding. They consider projects for children or adults. They do not give grants for research into or care of people with mental illness, dyslexia, dyspraxia nor ADHD, if they do not also have learning disabilities (intellectual disabilities).
- They generally direct their limited funds towards the initiation of research so that it can progress to the point at which there is sufficient data to support an application to one of the major funding bodies.
