The Trust has decided to prioritise its funding in favour of charities whose activities involve all or most family members in initiatives that support and encourage the family to work as a cohesive unit in tackling problems that face one or more of its members. The overall objective is to reinforce the potential benefit and support the family members as a unit can give to each other.
Applications are also welcomed from sports and health-related charities whose activities comply with the above criteria.
The Trust will consider both capital and revenue grants. The Trust is happy to support requests for core funding as well as project-based grants, and actively encourages applications from relatively new organisations to help them become established.
Applications should be supported by annual accounts where available.
Exclusions:
The following will not be considered:
- Non--registered charities
- Individual requests for grants
- National Charities (only regional projects will be considered)
- General Appeals
- Organisations with specific religious or political agendas
Applications should be made on the Kelly Family Charitable Trust’s official application form, which can be found on the How To Apply page.
If a grant is awarded, the charity will be asked to provide a report on its progress and the effective use of its grant during the funding year. The Trust may consider repeat funding requests on receipt of satisfactory progress reports.
