Deadline: 28-Feb-23
The Chapman Charitable Trust is inviting applications for its Grant Program.
Funding Information
- Most of their grants are £1,000 or £2,000.
- Larger grants are normally only made to charities under two headings:
- those where the current trustees have a special oversight
- those originally supported by their benefactor, Marjorie Chapman
- These larger grants are made on a regular basis, either yearly or half-yearly.
What activities does CCT support?
- They focus new grants on charities:
- promoting physical and mental wellbeing
- conserving their natural environment and promoting the sustainable use of resources
- increasing the accessibility of the arts, especially for young people
- They prefer to support charities which address the root causes of problems. For example, although they do make new small grants under the wellbeing heading for care and counselling these are normally made to organisations which seek to address underlying problems and where they think their grant can make a real difference.
- They particularly welcome applications from research organisations.
Are there geographical restrictions?
- They will support:
- National charities, including Scottish charities, if they operate across the UK
- Local charities only if their beneficiaries or activities are located in the areas shown in red on the map, ie in North Wales or South East England. The South East means Greater London, Herts, Cambs, Essex, Kent, East and West Sussex, Surrey and Hants.
Eligibility Criteria
- They only support registered UK charities and if you are not a UK charity then regretfully they cannot consider an application from you (unless you are an educational or research establishment with charitable status).
- Examples of applications they will not consider include those related to:
- Individuals and their welfare, whether in the UK or abroad, including sponsorship of education, research or travel
- Community Interest Companies (CICs)
- Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs)
- Cooperative Societies and not-for-profit organisations.
