Deadline: 21-Jan-22
The Roger De Haan Charitable Trust’s Grant Program is now open to charities and non-profit community organisations that support development of education, community projects, health and well-being, arts, culture and sport, principally for people living in east Kent, and in particular the District of Folkestone and Hythe.
The Trust actively encourages successful applicants to seek publicity for the grants they award. Positive news coverage often inspires other community organisations to feel confident about developing their own projects.
In turn this may lead to new applications from qualifying organisations and projects. It also raises awareness in the community of both the Trust’s and the applicant’s activities.
What they Support?
- education
- arts, culture and heritage
- community development and regeneration
- amateur sport
- projects to support young people
- health and welfare of older people
Ineligible Requests
Applications that are unlikely to receive Trustees’ support include:
- those where a grant would directly replace or subsidise statutory funding;
- those intended to develop business ventures, publications, websites or arrange conferences;
- any grant that would primarily benefit an individual or individuals;
- requests from students for the purpose of personal study or travel;
- funding for expeditions or overseas travel;
Eligibility Criteria
- Applications will be considered from registered charities or other institutions provided they can demonstrate clearly that their activities are charitable in nature.
Guidelines
- The Trust will not consider applications for projects: that promote political or religious beliefs or causes; from or on behalf of animal welfare charities; from national charities, unless there is a significant benefit to a local (Kent) office or project.
- The Trust does not normally provide grants for projects outside the UK.
- Repeat applications from a single organisation within a twelve month period will not normally be considered.
- For capital projects applicants are asked to submit evidence that at least three competitive quotes have been obtained for the work that is proposed.
- Full terms and conditions of grants will be sent to applicants with an offer letter or email if their application is successful.
- Grants are awarded at Trustees’ discretion.
- Unsuccessful applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application by letter or email.
