Charles Hayward Foundation - applications decided quarterly

New Guidelines

The Charles Hayward Foundation is a grant-making charitable trust
which is located in the United Kingdom. They make grants to charities
and charitable organisations which are registered in the U.K.

The Foundation seeks to be independent, intelligent, efficient,
cost-effective and effective grant maker; The Foundation seeks to be
clear and transparent in its activities;,The Foundation sees the value
in supporting activities which have been demonstrated to work and can
be replicated; The Foundation seeks to increase self-determination and
independence in individuals and groups.

They predominantly fund capital costs. Occasionally, project funding
may be offered for start-up or development activities where these are
not part of the on-going revenue requirement of the organisation.

They place great emphasis on funding projects that are developmental
or innovative. They would like to enable things to happen that would
not otherwise happen. They prefer funding a project in its early
stages rather than finishing off an already well supported appeal.

They also value projects that are preventive or provide early
intervention. Their preferred area of impact is at the community and
neighbourhood level.

They also wish to promote good practice. They would like to help with
the development of solutions to society's problems and help to expand
the take-up of these solutions where they are most needed.

The small grant scheme makes grants up to £5,000 only to charities
with an annual turnover of less than £250,000.

In their other programmes, grant sizes are typically from £10,000 to
£25,000 one-off grant. Where agreed, project funding may be granted
for a maximum of three years in duration, and will be tapered
downwards if appropriate. Project funding may be up to £15,000 per
year over three years

guidance on exclusions.

There is no application form and you may apply at any time in writing.
All applications will receive an acknowledgement. However, as there is
often a waiting list, and the trustees meet only four times a year to
consider applications, you may have a wait of several months before
you receive a decision. Please note that there are always many more
applications than we are able to fund out of our limited resources. On
average, our trustees approve one in twenty applications. You are
advised to read these guidelines very carefully, as inappropriate
applications waste time.
