Woodward Trust - BME, Refugees, Travellers - 24th May 2010

The Woodward Charitable Trust is one of the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts.
The Trusts share a common administration, but are otherwise independent of each
other.

The Trustees favour small-scale, locally based initiatives. Funding is primarily
for one-off projects, but the Trustees are willing to consider funding for
start-up or running costs (including core costs and salaries).  We only fund
registered charities, schools or churches. They do not fund Community Interest
Companies.

Funding Priorities:

Social and ethnic minority groups, including young people at risk of exclusion
or isolation, refugees, asylum-seekers, gypsies and travellers. Projects that
promote integration and community cohesion will be favoured; Prisoners and
ex-offenders. Projects that help the rehabilitation and resettlement of
prisoners and/or ex-offenders are supported as well as requests to help
prisoners' families; Homelessness, especially affecting young people and women,
and covering facilities such as women's refuges; People experiencing violence or
abuse; Arts outreach work by local groups involving disadvantaged people;
Disability projects; which can include rehabilitation, training or advocacy for
people who are either physically disabled or learning disabled as well as help
to improve employability; Environmental projects, especially with a strong
educational element; Addiction, including projects tackling the social exclusion
elements and preventative programmes and projects supporting families of
addicts.

Trustees review grant applications twice a year, usually in January and July.
All general applications forms for the July round should reach the office by 24
May 2010.

Small grants, £100-£5,000 (around 40-50 grants made per year, to projects within
areas 1-8 above on a one-off basis) Large grants, over £5,000 (around 5-10
grants made per year, usually to projects within areas 1-5 above and spread over
a maximum of three years). Applications for large grants will be rejected unless
applications are discussed with the administrator prior to submission. They only
make one or two each meeting so the large grants are rare.

Potential applicants are encouraged to telephone the administrator, Karin
Hooper, Tel: 020 7410 0330 to discuss their work if they think it might meet the
Trustees' criteria. Trustees are keen to spare charities the wasted time
involved in applying when there is no prospect of success.
