The Hewer White Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Trust mainly supports people in financial or emotional need, and it provides accommodation, so your work should clearly reach people in those circumstances.
- The latest annual report shows it paid £25,344 in grants, and it gives no grant range, so keep any request modest and specific rather than assuming a typical size.
- No application process is published, so contact the Trust first to ask what it needs; it will ask for your contact details and details of your financial status.
- Its stated criteria are need as set out in its objects, so an organisation should explain how the people it helps are in need, and the material gives no information on how competitive or relationship-led funding is.
- Organisations whose work does not connect to individual need or to accommodation fall outside its stated criteria and should not apply.
