How to Apply for a Grant:
Due to the introduction of the Common Reporting Standard Legislation, which came into force of 31st July 2017, the Trustees are legally required to confirm that any grant applicants are resident in the UK for tax purposes. The level of information required is more extensive for Large Grant Applications, and the application forms have been revised to include the additional information that is now required.
If you would like assistance with any of the tax-related questions, please seek independent advice from a tax specialist prior to completing the relevant form.
Having stated the Legal requirements, we would add that for most small grant applicants the only additional requirements are likely to be confirmation of your tax residency and your National Insurance Number.
For more complex cases, we have attached an Appendix, which gives the definitions of terms used in the application forms
Applications:
The Charity has four different application forms, depending on the Grant requirements. Once the application type has been selected, you will be taken to the relevant page to either download, or request by post, an application form, for subsequent completion and submission by email or post, with the required supporting information.
Please note that due to the complexity of the forms, we are no longer able to offer an online application form completion and submission process.
(a) Small Grants for Individuals (for grant requests not exceeding £1,000). The Charity particularly favours the support of further educational needs, and this application process should be used for both educational and general small grants for individuals. The Charity encourages individuals to apply, particularly for educational grants. If difficulties are encountered with completing parts of the form (which we have had to expand to comply with the requirements of the Common Reporting Standard Regulations) please complete and return the main part relating to the reason for, and cost of, the grant request, and we will then contact you as necessary.
(b) Small Grants for Organisations (again this is for requests not exceeding £1,000)
(c) Large Grants for Individuals (these are only considered twice yearly unless there are exceptional circumstances).
(d) Large Grants for Organisations (again these are only considered twice yearly unless there are exceptional circumstances).
If you have any application queries, or you are unable to download the relevant form and would like to receive a form by post, would you please contact the Clerk to the Charity:
