The Woolbeding Charity
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Woolbeding Charity says its resources are fully committed and its trustees are unable to invite applications for grants, so a small nonprofit should not approach it for funding at present.
- The annual report shows £24,500 awarded in its latest reported period, and its listed grants have gone to a museum, a performing arts organisation and a family-support organisation in Chichester District.
- No way to apply is published, so there is no application process to follow.
- The annual report shows its grants mainly in West Sussex, but no geographic focus is stated, so this describes past giving and is not a rule about who may apply.
