Key takeaways

  • If your work prevents or alleviates financial hardship in Leeds, particularly where housing is involved, this trust fits your purpose.
  • Its annual report records £3,675 awarded in total, which may include grants to individuals, and it gives no grant range, so a modest, specific request is the realistic approach.
  • Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but the trust does not fund general running costs or salaries and cannot commit to repeat grants, so frame a specific local project rather than asking for core costs.
  • Do not apply if your charity is not locally based, if your project is not local, or if the people you support do not live in the City of Leeds.
