Objectives of Fund

Funding is provided by The Wakeham Trust to support projects with a focus on two different fields:

• The micro-funding of community action and community service programmes.
• The support of academic excellence in teaching and learning.

Value Notes

Funding is at the discretion of the Trustees. Normally, grants are in the region of £125 to £2,500 for projects where that amount can make a real difference.

Eligible Expenditure

Funding is available for projects that are small scale and would find it hard to get funding from big trusts, or are currently unfashionable or unpopular among mainstream funders, but are making a real contribution to the local community.

How To Apply

Applications may be submitted at any time.

Interested organisations should contact the trust with details about their project to apply.
