Application guidelines
We are permanently open to applications.
Before you apply, please check the eligibility exclusions list in the right side panel.
Since we started in 2006, our main focus has been end-of-life care in a hospice and hospice-at-home context. For a breakdown of all the areas we have funded in the last year, please read our latest accounts (link in left side panel). We consider applications for core or project or capital costs.
We keep the application process simple, which is why there are no application forms. Please email your application to Richard Pierce-Saunderson as a Word document or a pdf file (2 or 3 A4 pages max, in a reasonable font size). You can attach your budget as a separate document. We treat all the information you provide to us as confidential.
For all applications, please include the following in your application:
For hospice applications, please also provide the following:
Our median award is £5,000. We are happy to part-fund projects. Re-applications can be for the continuation of previously-funded projects (you don't have to apply for a different project every time you apply). Only around 20% of applications are successful.
It normally takes a maximum 12 weeks from application to applicants being informed of the trustees' decision, unless we ask for more information from the applicant. There are no application deadlines as trustees normally make grant decisions on a monthly basis. E-mail applications are acknowledged when they are processed, not on receipt. Please allow at least 4 weeks after you have sent your application before you start chasing for a response.
Please do not send hardcopy applications.
Successful applicants should not re-apply until at least 12 months after receipt of their most recent grant. Such re-applications can be for the continuation of previously funded projects.
Unsuccessful applicants should not re-apply until at least 12 months after their most recent application.
Application eligibility exclusions
The following are not eligible to apply:
The trustees review the Foundation's giving strategy at least once a year.
