Key takeaways

  • The Trust accepts requests only by invitation and does not take unsolicited applications, so a small charity should not send a cold application.
  • Member Grants go only to Toyota members with an active role within a charity or community group, so the most direct route in is through a member already involved in your organisation.
  • Its work centres on road safety, social inclusion and deprivation, and health, with Burnaston and Deeside given as priority areas, so a request should show how it fits those themes and places.
  • Most grants fall between £700 and £5,000, with a median of £2,000, so a modest request sits closest to its usual pattern.

What they fund

Priority Areas

The Trust supports local community charitable activity around Burnaston and Deeside, focusing on road safety, social inclusion and deprivation, and health. Its road-safety work funds preventative or reactive projects to improve local road safety, and provides support and resources to reduce collisions and recovery time at the scene. It backs opportunities that help people realise their potential, address inequality and improve social status, and projects that promote knowledge and research into diseases or medical conditions or support people affected by illness. It works with local charities and organisations undertaking community work. Its approach combines grant applications with member involvement: members active in a charity or community group can apply, while the Trust also supports member match-funding and volunteering. It seeks to make opportunities possible that are not ordinarily available.
