Greenham Trust

Major Funding

Greenham Trust's major grants are for capital projects needing more than £30,000 that benefit people in West Berkshire and neighbouring wards of north Hampshire. Grants are matched £1 for £1 against new money raised for the project through The Good Exchange, typically covering 25-50% of the cost up to £100,000. Projects need wide community use, proven need and sustainability, and a solid fundraising plan; collaborations with other charities are strongly encouraged.
