Who can apply

  • Charities, other organisations and individuals whose project benefits people in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead
  • Projects elsewhere in the UK may be considered only if the majority of beneficiaries live in the Royal Borough; awards are scaled to the number of local beneficiaries
  • Applicants must be able to answer yes to the eligibility questions: beneficiaries mainly in the Royal Borough, one-off/single-year funding, a demonstrable difference to local people, capital and/or project costs, and spending the grant within 6 to 12 months
  • Successful applicants should spend their grant before reapplying

What it funds

One-off or single-year capital expenditure and project costs, to be spent within 6-12 months, for projects in:

  • Development of children and young people
  • Social need (e.g. homelessness, families in need, summer clubs for young people at risk, usually via specialist organisations)
  • Sport and disability (e.g. disabled sports, equipment for youth and community sport, elite athletes)
  • Physical and mental health
  • Older people
  • Arts and literature, especially bringing the arts to new communities

What it will not fund

  • Normal education at school or first degrees (generally)
  • Multi-year funding (the Trust tends not to award it)
  • Salaries or core costs, except in exceptional circumstances
  • Projects where the majority of beneficiaries do not live in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead
