The Jephcott Charitable Trust
Cotley, Streatham Rise, Exeter EX4 4PE, United Kingdom
www.jephcottcharitabletrust.org.uk
The Jephcott Charitable Trust (JCT) was established by Sir Harry Jephcott in 1965. Sir Harry was a pharmaceutical chemist and industrialist and in 1919 he joined Joseph Nathan, an Anglo-New Zealand company which marketed dried milk under the trade name Glaxo. He became the architect of what is one of the world's major pharmaceutical companies, being largely responsible for providing Glaxo with the scientific base on which its prosperity depended. He retired as Managing Director in 1956, subsequently becoming non-executive Chairman and later honorary life President. He was knighted in 1945 and created baronet in 1962. He endowed several charities. The Jephcott family continue to be actively involved with this Trust. Now Sir Neil Jephcott is the President of the Trust.
The Trust makes grants which will make a difference, preference are given to charities or projects which are having difficulty getting started, or raising funds from other sources. Grants are made to charities in all parts of the world. There are 4 priority areas:
- Population Control (JCT is prepared to consider support for schemes, particularly educational ones, which help to control excessive growth in population).
- The Natural Environment (JCT has supported a number of projects involved in conserving the natural environment. It does not support projects involving animal welfare or heritage sites or buildings).
- Education (Projects will be considered include benefitting people of all ages and backgrounds. They may be able to provide formal education, to teach vocational skills to enhance the possibility of employment, to enhance computer skills, health awareness, distance learning).
- Health (A very wide range of healthcare projects are supported. Projects which require long-term funding are not normally considered. The Trust prefers to make one-off donations to get many projects started, rather than support fewer projects charities over a long period).
You can apply if:
- You are a registered charity or properly constituted organisation. The purpose for which you are applying must be legally charitable and your constitution must allow you to carry out that work.
- Your proposal falls within our funding priorities.
- The work for which you want funding has not already taken place.
- The work will benefit an individual.
The Trust does not support:
- Organisations whose administrative expenses form more than 15% of their annual income.
- Individuals.
- Animal welfare.
- Heritage.
The Trust prefers to support projects which are pump-priming - helping to get an organisation up and running, or make a significant step forward.
To apply you should download and read the guidelines (also contains the application form). If you would like to submit an application, complete the application form.
If your application is largely ineligible under our guidelines, we will tell you within a few weeks of your application being received. Others will be assessed by our Trustees, which may involve asking for further information, or meeting you. Applications are considered at Trustee meetings which are held in April and October. You will hear shortly after these meetings whether your application has been successful or not.
Each year we receive many more applications than we can fund. We have to reject many applications which are eligible under our guidelines but are of a lower priority.
It is not usual to make more than one grant to any organisation, preferring to help many new projects get started. Grants are made in the range of £2,000 to £10,000, and in exceptional cases only, up to £20,000.
The diversity of appeals made to the Trustees make it difficult to provide specific guidelines in order to achieve selection. The Trustees are flexible in their approach, and take the following into account when considering an application:
- The ability to evaluate plays a crucial part.
- Involvement with a third party (eg NGOs) Whether the project is basic or palliative.
- The financial situation of the organisation (85% of income should be directly applied to advancing the applicants' charitable objectives).
- Whether the project is one-off or ongoing.
- The extent to which organisations have helped themselves.
