Cash help for running costs from Marsh Charitable Trust
SMALL groups needing help to pay for running costs are being invited to apply for Marsh Charitable Trust funding.
Grants from the trust can be used to cover a number of different costs, such as volunteer expenses, training days, equipment maintenance and other core outgoings.
The trust's funding strategy is to provide long-term core funding for such costs, as many organisations depend on unrestricted income in order to meet their operating needs.
Grants are unrestricted and range from £300-£2000, with successful new applicants usually receiving cash awards at the lower end of this scale.
Applications are considered on the basis of the organisation’s financial position, performance against charitable aims and objectives and the ratio of voluntary income against fundraising expenses.
Areas covered by the funding include: Arts and heritage; Education and training; Environmental causes and animal welfare; Healthcare; Social welfare.
Not covered by trust funding are individuals, individual churches, hospices or hospitals, start-up costs or project costs.
Applicants must be registered charities.
