Overview of the Small Grants Program
The HDH Wills Charitable Trust offers small grants ranging from £500 to £2,000, aimed at supporting charities engaged in environmental and wildlife conservation projects within the UK and abroad. The closing date for applications is December 31, 2027, at 12:00 AM. Potential applicants should review the eligibility requirements carefully to ensure compliance before submitting their applications.
Eligibility and Grant Criteria
To be eligible for funding, charities must be registered with the UK or Scottish charity regulators or classified as exempt or excepted charities as per the Charities Act 2011. The trust prioritizes donations to smaller charities or those initiating modest projects that would benefit significantly from financial support. Importantly, organizations that the trust has funded within the last 24 months are not eligible for further grants.
Application Process and Requirements
Charities interested in applying for the HDH Wills Charitable Trust grants should submit their applications online, although postal and email applications are also accepted. When preparing their applications, organizations need to include essential details such as their charitable status, contact information, a brief description of their work, and the project’s budget, including already raised funds. Additionally, applicants must ensure they maintain appropriate safeguarding policies to protect those they serve, particularly if they work with vulnerable populations.
