November 2014

The Trust is continuing to welcome and prioritise grant applications from smaller charities based in Devon, Cornwall or Somerset. These will be charities wholly based in the South West, without much national appeal and who have limited resources for fundraising. These applications will be considered before those from large national charities based outside the South West with substantial professional fundraising teams. If you are one of these smaller South West charities, your application will be welcomed and you can download the application form from the website.

Heritage Funding

Our Heritage Grant Grants from £10,000 to

£100,000 An Our Heritage grant can help you protect and share the heritage you care about. Your project could focus on anything from personal memories and cultural traditions to archaeological sites, museum collections and rare wildlife. Under Our Heritage they can accept applications from not-for-profit organisations, private owners of heritage and partnerships. If individuals or for-profit organisations are involved, the public benefit from the project must be greater than any private gain.

There are no application deadlines for this

programme – apply anytime. Your application will

be discussed at a monthly advisory meeting at

South West local Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF)

office. Following this meeting, a decision on your

application will be made by the Head of the local

HLF office (details below).

A decision will be made within eights of making an

application.

Townscape Heritage Grant Grants from £100,000 to

£2,000,000 Townscape Heritage schemes help to reverse the decline of our best-loved historic townscapes. Local, regional and national organisations

work together to repair buildings in conservation areas and bring them back to life. Schemes don't just help to create attractive, vibrant places that people want to live, work, visit and invest in. They also inspire communities to find out more about their townscape heritage, and give local people the chance to learn new skills. The predecessor of this grant programme is Townscape Heritage Initiative. Applications go through a two-round process. This

is so you can apply at an early stage of planning

your project and get an idea of whether you're

likely to receive a grant. Then you can send them

your detailed proposals. At the first round you can

also ask for funding to develop your project. There

are detailed guidance documents they advise you

read on the website.

Supporting People Funding Opportunities LankellyChase Foundation LankellyChase Foundation’s mission is to bring about change to improve the lives of people facing severe and multiple disadvantage. By this they mean people who are experiencing a combination of severe social harms such as homelessness, substance misuse, mental illness, extreme poverty, and violence and abuse. They are not interested in sticking plaster solutions, even if they make people’s lives better in the short term, but in changing the fundamentals. They think that: Many of the services that are supposed to help people operate in ‘silos’ (looking at each need on its

own) rather than responding to the ‘whole person’ and that this needs to change Services are too often set up to respond to crisis rather than preventing problems developing in the

first place There is a need to address the lack of power and influence in the hands of people facing severe and

multiple disadvantage People facing severe and multiple disadvantage are often excluded from the market - the services

and activities most of us take for granted, including employment, finance and leisure Certain discriminated-against groups face even greater disadvantage and this needs to be brought

to light and addressed They have some ideas about what might make change happen (set out in their Theory of Change available on the website) but they are clear that they do not have all the answers and they certainly cannot do this alone. There is a two-stage application process: Stage 1 Check if they are the right funder for you and send an Expression of Interest. Stage 2 Work with them to build a full proposal.

Multi Focus Funding Opportunities

Rayne Foundation

Rayne Foundation helps and encourages inspiring individuals and organisations

who can help build bridges within our complex world. They aim to enlarge

sympathies through increasing tolerance and understanding, to reduce exclusion

and conflict, to bring people together for the good of society, and ultimately to

help create a more comprehending and cohesive world.

Rayne Grants is their open application programme, and each year they field a great many applications. If

you are considering applying for a Grant, they want you first to be fully aware of the minimum

requirements for a successful application. Please read their Guidelines. This may save you a good deal of

time and effort, and will help you to establish whether there is a positive match between your

organisation’s aims and those of the Foundation – and subsequently, whether you think it is worth

applying.

Multi Focus Funding Opportunities Jill Franklin Charitable Trust

Grants are typically £500 to £1000, and the trust has four areas in which it is soliciting grant applications: Self-Help groups, advice, training, and employment; to support people with a mental illness or

learning difficulties, and their carers (parents etc.). Respite care, and holidays (in the UK only). Grants for holidays are only given where there is a

large element of respite care and only to registered charities, not to individuals. Organisations helping and supporting refugees and asylum-seekers coming to or are in the UK. The restoration (not “improvement”) of churches of architectural importance (half a page in

Pevsner’s Buildings) and occasionally to other buildings of architectural importance. The church should be open to visitors every day.

Applicants for a grant should write, enclosing their last annual report and accounts and a budget for the project. The Trustees tend to look more favourably on an appeal which is simply and economically prepared: glossy, "prestige" and Mailsorted brochures do not impress the trustees. Applications can be sent by email to jft@jill-franklin-trust.org.uk Norman Franklin, Jill Franklin Charitable Trust, Flat 5, 17-19 Elsworthy Road, London NW3 3DS

Sir Halley Stewart Trust The Trust has a Christian basis and is concerned with the development of body, mind and spirit, a just environment, and international goodwill. To this end it supports projects in religious, social, educational and medical fields (mainly in the UK). Proposals must fit with the Trust’s aims and objectives, and reflect its particular interests. The Trust encourages prospective applicants to telephone and/or email the Trust’s Secretary to explore the suitability of a project in advance of the development and submission of a written application. Applications should be prepared by those who will be directly involved in the project rather than dedicated fundraisers or development officers.
