The Stockwell / Cliffe Charitable Trust

The Stockwell / Cliffe Charitable Trust grants

A Buckinghamshire family trust giving grants of up to £5,000 to small registered charities in England and Wales. The money need not be tied to a project: it can be seed capital, core administration costs or help through a difficult time. Because demand is high, it prioritises charities benefiting residents of Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and adjoining counties, and the online form asks you to confirm this (or that the trustees invited you). Trustees meet three times a year.
