Many charitable trusts have seen a significant increase in the number of applications over the last couple of years and are beginning to adjust their grant programmes accordingly.
The Austin and Hope Pilkington Trust has announced a restructuring of its funding programme for 2017 and now offers 4 rounds per year.
Charitable organisations can apply for funding which directly support the theme selected by the Trust for that year. The funding is intended to support organisations undertaking projects in a variety of fields and works on a 3-year rotation system, with different fields of interests being funded each year.
The categories are as follows:
o 2017: Music and the Arts, and the Elderly;
o 2018: Medical and Community;
o 2019: Children and young people.
o 2018: Medical and Community;
o 2019: Children and young people.
The project must fall within the relevant category for the year the application is submitted.
PLEASE NOTE: priority is given to projects with a national remitrather than projects with a local remit. Charities with an annual income of less than £50,000 are unlikely to be funded.
Registered charities and charities exempt from registration can apply for the following levels of funding:
o Charities with an annual operating income of between £50,000 and £1 million can apply a grant of £1,000 (charities with an annual income above £1 million are not eligible to apply for this grant);

o Charities with an annual income between £500,000 and £1 million can apply for either a £1,000 grant or a £5,000 grant. (charities may not apply for both).
