The Baily Thomas Charitable Trust’s Main Grants and Small Grants programme provide funding for projects supporting children and adults with the conditions generally referred to as severe learning difficulties or autism.
Registered charities or voluntary organisations associated with a registered charity may apply for a grant. Exempt charities such as schools, Parent Teacher Associations and Industrial & Provident Societies may also apply.
The Trust operates the following grant schemes:
1. Small Grants from £250 up to £10,000 (applications may be made at any time);
2. General Grants over £10,000 (next application deadline 1 August 2018);
3. Research Grants - these are directed towards the initiation of research into learning disability. The Trust's aim isthat the research can progress to a point where it becomes eligible for dupport from other major funding bodies (applications may be made at any time).

3. Research Grants - these are directed towards the initiation of research into learning disability. The Trust's aim isthat the research can progress to a point where it becomes eligible for dupport from other major funding bodies (applications may be made at any time).
Funding is normally considered for capital or revenue costs and for both specific projects as well as general running and core costs.
Normally one-off grants are awarded but - in exceptional circumstances - a new project may be funded over two or three years, subject to satisfactory reports of progress.
