Selby Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The annual report gives no readable grants total and no grant range, so a realistic request size cannot be judged from the available information, and a grant writer should ask the Trust directly before setting a figure.
- Its Selby Ventures Grant Programme is aimed at London-based businesses and entrepreneurs seeking to grow, so a business that fits that description is the clearest match, while a community group may find the wider work on BME, refugee and other historically excluded communities in Tottenham, Haringey and North London more relevant.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but the eligibility requirements for proposals are not stated, so check them before writing.
- The stated focus is London, with Haringey as a priority, so organisations working elsewhere should confirm fit before applying.
