J N Derbyshire Trust, administered by Forever Notts (formerly Nottinghamshire Community Foundation)

J N Derbyshire Trust

Project-cost grants from the J. N. Derbyshire Trust, run through Forever Notts, for registered charities and not-for-profit companies improving communities in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Grants fund Nottinghamshire-based projects that promote health, physical improvement or education, or relieve poverty, distress and sickness, and most awards are between £350 and £10,000. Applicants must have at least two years of accounts filed with the Charity Commission or Companies House, and national charities with income over £1m cannot apply. Trustees review applications twice a year, in March and October.
