The Trusthouse Charitable Foundation
65 Leadenhall Street, London EC3A 2AD, UK

www.trusthousecharitablefoundation.org.uk
The Trusthouse Charitable Foundation was formed out of a trust operated by the Council of Forte plc which inherited investments in the Granada Group. The Foundation was registered with the Charity Commissioners in 1997. The objects of the Foundation are such charitable purposes as the Trustees in their discretion from time to time determine. The Trustees have power to apply income and capital to fulfill their objects.
The Foundation currently distributes over £2 million each year. The average grant awarded by the Foundation is £5,000.
Within the UK The Trustees will consider applications from anywhere in the UK, especially those concerned with areas of deprivation. It is not necessary to be a registered charity in order to apply however applications will only be considered from not-for-profit organisations.
The Trustees will also consider applications from charities based in the UK which undertake health care, health education and community projects; and projects supporting charitable work in developing countries. The Foundation currently spends around 10% of its grants budget on overseas projects.
Broad Priorities
- Health Care & Disability
- Community Support
- Education and the Arts
The Foundation currently makes over 300 grants a year of which the majority are small grants (averaging £5,000). A small number of larger grants (i.e. over £10,000) are awarded each year.
The Foundation offers grants under two separate programmes:
The Small Grant Programme (capital and revenue grants)
- offers grants under £10,000 only to organisations with annual incomes below £300,000 p.a.;
- grants are for one-off purposes within the priorities set out above and must be spent within six months of receipt;
- grants can be for one-off capital items, such as equipment or small capital works, or towards six months running costs;
- for requests of under £5,000, there is a programme to "fast track" the appeals so that applicants will know the outcome within six to eight weeks of receipt of the application;
- applicants should complete form A to apply for a small grant.
The Large Grant Programme (capital grants only)
- is available to all organisations of any size;
- offers grants of normally between £10,000 and £30,000 for capital projects only (i.e. equipment, building or capital works)
- capital grants will not normally be offered to very large capital projects (e.g. over £1m), but individual and discrete elements of very large projects may be considered when a significant proportion of the total appeal has already been raised
- applicants should complete form B to apply for a large grant.
Demand for larger grants is high:- at present only one in ten applications is successful so please consider applying for a small grant if your annual income is below £300,000 as you may stand more chance of success.
Applicants are also required to provide supporting information on approximately two A4 sheets in accordance with the following guidelines.
Animal welfare, applications for revenue funding for more than one year, capital appeals for places of worship, grant making organisations or umbrella groups, grants for individuals, feasibility studies and evaluations, local authorities, medical research projects, office IT equipment, organisations that have received a grant for three consecutive years from the Foundation, projects involving the start-up or piloting of new services, projects where the primary objective is environmental or conservation, projects where the primary objective is the promotion of a particular religion, renovation or alteration projects to make a building compliant with the Disability & Discrimination Act, revenue funding for organisations with an income of over £300,000 per annum, services operated by the NHS, social research, training of professionals within the UK are not normally considered.
