Charles Hayward Foundation Grants, also small grants, and fund for NW
England

The Charles Hayward Foundation is a grant-making charitable trust
which is located in the United Kingdom. We make grants to charities
and charitable organisations which are registered in the U.K.

Please read our guidelines carefully to see if your organisation or
project is eligible for funding. Download from
http://www.charleshaywardfoundation.org.uk/download.htm


HERE ARE OUR CURRENT CATEGORIES:
* Heritage and Conservation
* Criminal Justice (includes families suffering domestic violence and
victim support)
* Hospices
* Older People.
* Overseas
* Youth at Risk


SMALL GRANT SCHEME up to £5,000

We have a small grant scheme which makes more rapid grants to smaller
organisations. The grants are valued up to £5,000 and are only
available to organisations with a turnover of less than £250,000.
Applications for small grants will be accepted for activities fitting
any of our UK funding categories above, except Youth at Risk.

In addition, small grants valued up to £5,000 will be made towards
community facilities in the North West region of England. We will
contribute up to £5,000 towards capital projects to accommodate
community activities, where the project is a capital build or
extension costing less than £250,000. The new facilities must
accommodate new activities, which are at a demonstrably advanced stage
in their planning. The activities must be designed to meet the basic
needs of new clients and users.

* Capital costs of community centres and village halls.
* Capital costs of community facilities provided by churches and faith
groups.
* Capital costs for CABx.
* Capital costs for rescue organisations.


HOW TO APPLY FOR A GRANT

There is no application form. Your initial application should be made
in writing to the Administrator and we will advise you whether more
information is required.

All applications will receive an acknowledgement. However, as there is
often a waiting list, and the trustees meet only four times a year to
consider applications, you may have a wait of several months before
you receive a decision. Please note that there are always many more
applications than we are able to fund out of our limited resources. On
average, our trustees approve one in twenty applications. You are
advised to read these guidelines very carefully, as inappropriate
applications waste time.

If a grant is offered to your organisation, some general conditions
will apply:
* Grants are only offered towards expenditure not yet incurred.
* Grants are paid on evidence of expenditure such as receipts or
invoices. For project grants, budgets and cost-coded management
accounts will be required.
* The grant offer may be withdrawn after 12 months if it is not taken
up.
* The Charles Hayward Foundation does not seek publicity concerning
its grants.
