Sheffield City Trust
Key takeaways
- Sheffield City Trust describes grant giving as a comparatively small part of its work, with providing and managing facilities as its main way of meeting its objects, so a request should be for a specific project rather than an expectation of regular funding.
- Its named grant programme supports community groups in Sheffield that promote sport and physical activity, so a project of that kind based in Sheffield is the clearest fit in its annual report, though its wider objects also cover recreation and leisure, physical and mental health, the arts, and historic and architectural buildings in Sheffield.
- No grant range, annual giving figure or application method is published, so contact the trust to ask whether a project suits and what size of request it would consider before writing a full application.
- Grants go to groups the trust considers the most appropriate way of furthering its objects within specific target communities, so show clearly how the project reaches the community it serves.
