Mrs D M France-Hayhurst Foundation

Mrs D M France-Hayhurst Foundation is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1160394).

The Mrs D M France-Hayhurst Foundation is a registered charity, originally established by the Will of its founder as the Mrs D M France-Hayhurst Charitable Trust, and its assets are now held by the Charity after the Trust was incorporated in April. Its objects allow it to advance any purpose that is charitable under the law of England and Wales, in any part of the world, in the manner its trustees think fit. It primarily provides grants to charities concerned with animal welfare, and its annual report records £121,300 awarded. The trustees will generally consider grant applications for up to £5,000, though larger grants may be available in certain circumstances.

Priority Areas

The foundation primarily makes grants to charities concerned with animal welfare, and also supports charities that help people in need or further educational projects through interaction with animals. Applicants must be registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator or the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, or be exempt or excepted charities. Grants are considered for project costs and capital expenditure. The foundation does not make grants to individuals. Grants are restricted to the project and costs described in the application, or as later agreed in writing. Supported projects must be monitored and evaluated, with a report submitted within three months of completion unless the trustees agree another timescale.
