The Joicey Trust grants

The Joicey Trust (registered charity 1205690), a family trust, gives grants to charities in North East England (all NE and SR postcodes plus DH1-DH9) and welcomes applications from the Scottish Borders. Grants cover a wide range of causes for revenue (including core funding) or capital costs. Awards are rarely more than 10% of the project costs claimed, and trustees decide twice a year.

Who can apply

  • Registered (or statutory) charities working in the Trust's beneficial area: North East England, defined as all NE and SR postcodes plus DH1-DH9, and the Scottish Borders
  • Unregistered charitable organisations can be considered if the application comes with a letter from a local infrastructure organisation (CVS, CVA, etc.) agreeing to receive any award on their behalf
  • Charities registered outside the beneficiary area with gross income over £1 million are generally excluded
  • Organisations that do not fully meet these parameters can email the Trust to discuss before applying

What it funds

  • Grants across a wide spectrum of charitable purposes for either revenue (including core funding) or capital expenditure, for work within the beneficial area
  • As a minor part of its activity the Trust also gives small grants to individuals resident in the area who undertake long-term (minimum 6 months in country) international development work sponsored by a charity

What it will not fund

  • Research, including research costs within core funding applications (not normally supported)
  • Charities not registered within the beneficiary area whose gross incoming resources exceed £1 million (generally excluded)
  • Individuals, except those sponsored by an international development charity
  • Expense incurred before the trustees' decision is notified (except core funding)

The maximum awarded is rarely more than 10% of the project costs claimed
