The Huggard Charitable Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- The trust makes grants only to charitable organisations, never to individuals, and it takes applications by invitation only, so an unsolicited request should not be sent.
- It states that it is not currently supporting any new applications and that the list of charities it supports was established by its founder, so a cold approach is unlikely to get a hearing.
- If your work fits its themes of community support, homelessness, disadvantage, support for people affected by old age, illness or disability, or advancing religion, note that the trust gives a priority to South Wales, though that is a priority rather than a rule.
- Most of its grants are modest, so any request should be modest too, and the trust does not state a typical amount to aim for.
- Larger grants go to a few long-standing projects tied to the trust and its founders, so a small charity without an existing connection should not expect this funder to be open to it.
