Many funders run the same grant every year, so check the funder’s site for a new round. The details below are what the funder published when it was open.
Alfred Williams Charitable Trust
Alfred Williams Charitable Trust
A small Suffolk trust that funds specific conservation and restoration projects in the natural and historic man-made environment in Suffolk only, including repairs to the fabric of historic buildings. It does not fund ongoing activities, routine maintenance or reordering (such as adding a kitchen or toilets to a church). It favours causes that find it harder to raise money from the public, and occasionally considers modest requests in health, education or social welfare where they meet an uncovered local need. Distance from the trust's base near Stowmarket affects both the size of a grant and the chance of success. Trustees meet three times a year, with applications due by the end of January, May and September.
