The Hugh Mumford Charitable Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The trust's stated focus is access to sport and conservation, preservation and biodiversity, so a project in either area is the most direct fit.
- Its priority area is Cambridgeshire, with East Anglia (Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk) and the UK also named, so a group working in those places has the clearest match, although its objects allow grants more widely.
- Its grant range is not stated and no typical grant size is given, so a grant writer should not assume an amount and should check what the trust's listed funding gateway asks for before setting one.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no deadline to plan around.
- Nothing published says how competitive the trust is or whether contact beforehand helps, so it is worth checking the funding gateway for that.
