Deadline: Ongoing Opportunity
The Trusthouse Charitable Foundation is seeking applications for its Major Grants.
Their preference is for front line organisations working directly with families in need. They are unlikely to support campaigning, fundraising, organisational development or capacity building. Theywill consider projects which are a logical extension of existing work. They do not support work which represents a significant shift away from the existing core aims and track record of an organisation.
Funding Focus: Family Support
- Within Family Support, they have three priorities that exemplify the types of charitable activities they will fund:
- Early Intervention
- Families Coping with Addiction
- Prisoners’ Families
