Value Notes
Grants of up to £3,000 are available (around 100 grants awarded per year). However, most grants are for £1,000 or less.
A small number of larger grants of more than £3,000 will also be awarded but only to charities that are known to the Trustees.
Funding is available for a maximum of three consecutive years or three grants within five years. After their last grant organisations should wait two years before reapplying for a further grant.
Prospective applicants should be aware that only 15% of applicants are successful. Grants that represent more than 10% of an organisation’s previous year’s income are unlikely to be made.
Extended Description
The Woodward Charitable Trust, a grant-making trust, is one of the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts. The Trusts share a common administration but are otherwise independent of each other.
Grants are available to support the core costs of registered charities that help families and young people in the UK with the aim of improving their life chances. The Trust favours small-scale, locally based initiatives and most grants are only for one year.
Following a review of its funding guidelines, the Trust now focuses its grant making on the following areas:
- Children and young people who are isolated, at risk of exclusion or involved in antisocial behaviour. This covers gang violence and knife crime, education and mentoring, as well as projects that work to raise self-esteem and employment opportunities and encourage an active involvement in and contribution towards the local community.
- Disadvantaged families. This covers parenting support and guidance, mental health, food poverty, refuges and domestic violence projects and would also include projects that benefit travellers, ethnic minorities and refugee families.
- Prisoners and ex-offenders and specifically projects that maintain and develop contact with prisoners’ families and help with the rehabilitation and resettlement of prisoners and/or ex-offenders after their release.
