Dorothy Holmes Charitable Trust

The Dorothy Holmes Charitable Trust offers grants to registered charities in the UK, in particular – but not exclusively – for projects with the following beneficiaries:

o Children and young people;
o Older people;
o People with disabilities; and
o Medical research.

The Trust aims to support smaller charities for whom a donation from the Trust will make a real difference in operating activities.

The average grants tends to be for between £2,000 and £3,000.

Evidence of match funding is sometimes – but not always - required by the Trust.

The Trust has a policy of making one-off awards with no guarantees for ongoing funding.

During the year ending 5 April 2016 the Trust’s charitable expenditure was £ 94,208.

PLEASE NOTE: the Trust does not maintain a website.

Further information is, however, available on the Charity Commission website.

The application process is ongoing and interested applicants may apply at any time in writing.

Grants are made on the basis of applications that have been made to the Trust and also charities nominated by Trustees as a result of research undertaken on specific organisations.

Applicants are advised to contact the funding provider directly to confirm eligibility.
