The Norman Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Norman Trust's main aim is to support the Roundhouse Trust in running the Roundhouse in London as a performance venue and creative centre for young people, so a youth arts project, or one helping disadvantaged young people through the arts, is the clearest fit.
- Its annual report gives no grant range or typical grant size, so the amount to ask for is not set out, and a request should rest on a clear, costed need.
- No application process is published, so start by contacting the trust using the contact shown, and ask about timing and what it would consider before writing a full proposal.
- Because the trustees also donate to other causes they consider suitable, a request outside youth arts is not ruled out, but it depends on their discretion rather than a stated programme.
- Nothing published says how competitive it is or how often it gives, and no group is named as excluded, so no organisation should be discouraged from making an enquiry.
