Eligibility

What we support

Trustees do not normally make Grants to National Charities. We may sometimes offer a Grant to a local Birmingham Project with its own published accounts, even if the Birmingham project is itself part of a National Charity.

The Trustees welcome grant applications from Birmingham registered charities working in any of the following areas:

• Area-based community work such as church-based community projects
• Work with special needs including the following:
  - Childhood and youth
  - Old age
  - Death and bereavement
  - Homelessness
  - Disability
  - Prison
  - Addiction
  - Victim support
  - Other special needs
• Health and well being, including syndrome support groups, counselling, bereavement support, complementary health and mental health initiatives
• Education
• Arts and leisure, including theatre in education groups, museums and arts centres
• Heritage
• Environment: projects which are about environmental improvement, and green projects generally are particularly welcome.

Cheques can be made payable only to registered charities.

Eligible areas

In some cases Trustees will accept applications for charities based outside but close to Birmingham, where there is a strong Birmingham connection.
