- Completed application forms should be returned (preferably by e-mail, or otherwise by post) to the address at the bottom of this page.
- Decisions on grants are made by the Trustees, who meet approximately every two months. Please follow the link on this page for a schedule of forthcoming meetings. We request that applications to be considered at each meeting should be received by one week before the meeting date.
- We aim to notify applicants of decisions within seven working days.
Guidance for applicants:
- Applications should demonstrate how the grant requested will benefit the residents of Oxfordshire. This is especially relevant with respect to national charities.
- Activities that bring direct benefit to Oxfordshire residents are preferred over projects such as building renovations.
- Organisations we have previously funded are welcome to apply again, but will we not normally provide more than one grant in any 12 month period.
- Community organisations who are not registered charities will be requested to provide the most recent available copy of their approved accounts.
- Any exceptions may be made at the Trustees' absolute discretion.
