Key takeaways

This funder suits organisations and individuals based in Faversham, because its education and relief in need grants are open to those resident in the town, and its heritage and recreation work is focused there.
Applicants must have lived in Faversham continuously for at least 5 years immediately before applying, so groups and people from outlying villages such as Oare and Graveney should not apply.
Its annual report shows £3,534 awarded in the latest year, and the grant range is not stated, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so contact the foundation for an application form, but support is limited by income each year, so an early approach is sensible.
