Grants for Organisations
Who may apply?
- Applications must be for the benefit of residents and / or organisations in the Trust’s area of benefit, defined as the council wards of Birmingham City Council known as the Sutton Coldfield constituency.
- Exceptionally, applications may be considered from organisations based outside Sutton Coldfield, if these meet the needs of a significant number of residents and there is no similar local provision. For example, medical, hospice and special needs provision.
When may applications be submitted?
-
Applications may be submitted at any time. They are considered by the Grants Committee which meets eight times a year. Where awards requested are for £55,000 or less, the Committee makes a decision and applicants are notified as soon as possible. Requests for grants over £55,000 are considered by the Committee and may be referred for a final decision to the full Board of Trustees, which meets quarterly.
-
At all stages, staff at the Trust will give assistance to those making applications. Applicants should ensure that the online funding application and required documentation is received at least six weeks prior to the next Grants Committee meeting for consideration. A list of committee dates and application deadlines can be found below.
