Small Grants for Charities from Trusts and the Lottery
This listing from the Directory of Social Change is for charities wanting small grants, usually for amounts of less than £5000. There are many further trust making grants of this kind. Unless there is an application form, send a brief letter on one side of a sheet of paper, saying who you are and what you achieve with the money, accompanied buy your most recent annual report and accounts. If the trusts want more detail they will ask for it.
The full policies and practices of these trusts, and of many more are set out in the Guide to Major Trusts, Volume 1 from the Directory of Social Change. Success rates given below are as at the end of 2002, and are a guide rather than precise figures.
