Louis Baylis Charitable Trust

Louis Baylis Charitable Trust Grants

Grants from the trust set up in 1962 by Louis Baylis, owner of the Maidenhead Advertiser, for local organisations and charities, mainly in the Maidenhead area, with the balance going to regional and national organisations. The trust gives more than £100,000 a year in total to more than 100 recipients, so most grants are small. Applications go on a short paper form by post; the current closing date is Friday 6 November 2026.
