Sovereign Health Care Charitable Trust guidelines 2012
26 January 2012
Thinking of applying to Sovereign Health Care Charitable Trust for a small grant? Guidelines for 2012 have been published.
From the guidelines:
"Sovereign Health Care Charitable Trust funds work that is wholly charitable and usually undertaken either by registered charities or by organisations that have been established for charitable purposes, are properly constituted and have a bank account. In general the trust favours initiatives that touch people's lives and clearly make a difference. As long as there is evidence that the organisation is continuing to deliver an effective service, the trust is happy to contribute to the general running costs of some organisations on a regular basis."
"Applications where there is a clear benefit to people in the Yorkshire area are more likely to be funded."
"Applications related to conditions or diseases that are particularly prevalent in the Bradford area are especially welcome."
"Grants are usually quite modest - a few thousand pounds at most."
"Applications that are health related (in a broad sense) are most likely to be funded. The trustees recognise that improving the health and well-being of people, especially disadvantaged people, is sometimes best undertaken through initiatives that tackle general social welfare needs as well."
"The majority of grants made are to local, district or regional (Yorkshire) activities, with a bias towards Bradford."
