Corfe Castle Charity
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your work fits if it is in Corfe Castle Parish and falls under almshouse and affordable housing, education and training, sickness and disability, or hardship relief, since the Charity funds people and institutions in the parish under those themes.
- The annual report shows £1,400 awarded in its latest reported year, so a modest request is more realistic, and the grant range is not stated.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so you can apply at any time, and organisations within the parish are invited to apply for grants and loans.
- Do not apply if you are based or work outside the parish, because the Charity does not fund applicants outside it.
- The sources do not say how competitive its grants are or whether it prefers existing relationships, so check with the Charity before preparing a full application.
