Hedley Foundation

The main objective of the Trustees' grant-making is to assist and encourage
development and change.  It follows that most grants will be of capital or
one-off nature, but the Trustees sometimes agree to help fund the introduction
of new and innovative projects with a series of up to 3 annual grants.  Few
grants exceed £5,000 and most of them go to charities where they can make an
impact.  We do not support large or national appeals.

Within the main objective, the Foundation makes grants according to its
published criteria, which are reviewed from time to time.

Main objective (currently about 70% of the Foundation's budget)
* Young people:  their education, recreation, support, training, health and
welfare,

Subsidiary objectives
* Disabled people and the terminally ill:  provision of specialist equipment and
support for carers,

Type of Grant:
* Grants for specific projects only, mostly one-off, but no core revenue, salary
or transport funding.  The Foundation makes a limited number of recurring grants
for up to three years.

Type of Beneficiary:
* Registered charities only.  We do not give grants to individuals.

Restrictions:
* The Hedley Foundation is unable to assist very large appeals, central appeals
by National Charities or appeals from Cathedrals or churches.

Appeals will only be considered if submitted using the Application Form
contained in this web site together with a copy of the charity's most recent set
of Accounts.

Beneficial area:
* The United Kingdom only.
