Small and medium-sized organisations working to address deprivation and disadvantage in their local area can apply for a grant from the Trusthouse Charitable Foundation.
Your organisation will need a strong track record in addressing local issues in the most deprived urban or rural areas:
‘Urban’ is defined as areas with a population of more than 10,000 people. Funding is for areas of extreme urban deprivation and your postcode must be ranked within the most deprived 15% of the Index of Multiple Deprivation*.
‘Rural’ is defined as areas with less than 10,000 inhabitants in your village/town. Your postcode must be within the most deprived 50% of the Index of Multiple Deprivation*. The Foundation is interested in supporting remote, rural, economically-deprived areas where there are few local facilities.
Charitable organisations (including CICs, social enterprises, not-for-profit registered companies and voluntary organisations) can apply. Trusthouse Charitable Foundation prefers to support frontline organisations working directly with people in need.
There are two levels of grant funding:
Small Grants: between £2,000 and £10,000 for core costs, salaries, running and project costs for one year. Projects must have a focus on community support.
Major Grants: between £10,000 and £100,000 for core costs, salaries, running and project costs for up to three years. Your organisation must have a focus on family support: this includes early intervention, families coping with addiction and prisoners’ families.
You can apply for up to 50% of your costs.
