Eligibility Guidelines

Please read the below before registering for an application to ensure you meet our requirements.

• We prefer to make grants to charitable organisations situated in and operated for the benefit of people in Nottingham or Nottinghamshire.

​

• We will not consider applications from nationally operated charities who have reported income of more than £1m in their latest set of financial statements that are available.

​​

• We do not make grants to individuals.

​

• We only make grants to registered charities, or companies who operate on a not-for-profit basis, who can supply 2 years of accounts with their application.

​

• Applicants will need to have the last two years accounts filed with either the Charities Commission or Companies House (e.g. CIC or Limited by Guarantee companies) available to attach to your application.

​

There are currently two funding review meetings per year for all applications which usually take place in March and October. The deadlines for submission of the application form for these meetings are 31 January and 31 August respectively.

​

​Please note that we receive more requests for help than we can meet from our resources. We therefore have to make difficult decisions on which projects to fund even when all of the eligibility criteria have been met on an application.
