St. Giles Charity Estates
At a glance
Key takeaways
- St. Giles Charity Estates works in Northampton and Northamptonshire, though its Northamptonshire giving is at the trustees' discretion, so a group based well outside that area is unlikely to fit.
- Its most recent annual report shows £66,715 paid out, and the recorded awards include £5,000 to the Hope Centre and £2,000 to the Weston Favell Food Bank, so a modest request is the realistic size to plan for.
- Grants to individuals and smaller charities are sponsored by recognised local organisations, so a small charity or an individual should approach one of those organisations rather than apply to this funder directly.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact the charity shows for getting in touch and ask whether an approach is welcome.
- The annual report does not say how competitive or relationship-led its giving is, so allow for that uncertainty.
