Hulme Trust Estates (Educational)
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Most of this funder's income goes to beneficiaries named in its Charity Commission Scheme, in fixed proportions, and only a small share is discretionary, to charities the scheme specifies, so an organisation that is not named should not expect funding from the main budget.
- Its beneficiaries are educational establishments and registered charities, so an organisation that is neither should not apply.
- If you are a registered charity or educational establishment working in education, note that typical grants in the annual report run from £1,800 to £180,000 and the median grant was about £11,000, so a modest request sits comfortably, though that band is not a ceiling.
- No application process is published, so check the contact shown and whether your organisation is already a named or specified beneficiary before getting in touch.
- The annual report shows grants mainly in Manchester, but no geographic focus is stated, so location is not a rule.
