The Sunrise (Sidmouth) Charitable Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your work falls within the areas the trust has funded, such as armed-forces and veterans' charities, churches, health and disability charities, hospices, animal welfare, environmental bodies, or community and cultural organisations, it may fit.
- Most grants are modest: about 8 in 10 of its 42 grants to organisations fall between £2,000 and £10,000, with a median of £3,000, so a request in or near that band is realistic, though the largest grant was £100,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
- The annual report shows grants mainly in Sidmouth, so a Sidmouth-based organisation is likely closest to its pattern of giving, but that reflects past grants rather than a rule about who may apply.
- No application process is published and none was found in the annual report or register entry, so a short letter asking whether the trustees would consider a request is a sensible first step, and allow for the fact that they meet periodically.
- No exclusions are stated, so no organisation should be ruled out on this information, though nothing in the annual report or register entry shows how competitive giving is.
