The George Gibson Almshouses Foundation Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's objectives cover people aged 55 or over in Newmarket and surrounding areas, including the former administrative county of West Suffolk, who need financial support and help with healthcare and housing, so work of that kind fits its purpose.
- Do not apply if your beneficiaries are under 55, live outside Newmarket and the surrounding areas (including the former administrative county of West Suffolk), or do not need financial support and help with healthcare and housing.
- Its annual report gives annual giving of £2,269, which the register does not confirm, and no grant range is stated, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one.
- No application process is published, so use the contact shown for getting in touch, and note that the trustees make grants in line with the charitable objectives.
- The sources do not say how competitive grants are or whether relationships matter, so treat it as an open enquiry.
