Grants for smaller community-based organisations providing a range of charitable projects.
The Trust funds a wide range of organisations working to build stronger communities. It doesn’t have specific funding programmes designed to advance a particular agenda because it believes that the groups it supports are best placed to identify problems and develop solutions.
You can apply for funding for salaries, running costs, core funding, projects grants or capital grants. There is no minimum or maximum amount to apply for, and you don’t need to say specifically how much you want to apply for until the second stage of the application.
You don’t need to be a registered charity to apply – any organisation working for charitable purposes can apply.
There are no specific funding priorities, but Tudor wants to work with organisations that work with people on the margins of society, build stronger communities by overcoming isolation, are embedded in their community, involve users, work in imaginative or unusual ways and are thoughtful in their use of resources.
To find out more, and how to apply, please visit the Tudor Trust website.
