This page contains information for charities or community groups seeking funding.

How to apply:

• A copy of our current application form can be obtained using the link on this page.  Additional information may be provided in a covering letter if needed.  Any queries should be emailed to the address at the bottom of this page.
  
  
• 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.
