The Mohammad
Ibrahim Foundation
The Mohammad Ibrahim Foundation is a private independent grant making foundation. It makes grants to organisations that aim to improve the quality of life for people and communities in the UK, both now and in the future. It likes to consider work which others may find hard to fund, perhaps because it breaks new ground, appears too risky, requires core funding or needs a more unusual form of financial help such as a loan. The Foundation has always believed in the need to support and maintain a free, stable and socially cohesive society, where enterprise is encouraged and people are able to realise their potential, take advantage of opportunities and play their part in democratic life.
The Volant Charitable Trust
The Volant Charitable Trust was set up by the author J K Rowling to support charitable causes. The Trust supports charities and projects, whether national or community-based, at home or abroad, that alleviate social deprivation, with a particular emphasis on women’s and children’s issues.
All charities should be registered with the relevant national charity commission or equivalent body. The Trustees are prepared to support a charity by way of regular annual payments but only in exceptional circumstances would grants exceed three years. Individuals will not be supported.
The Trustees meet twice a year, in March and September, to consider applications and allocate funds. If your application is successful, you will be notified immediately after the meeting has taken place.
Application forms can be requested by writing to the Trust Administrator at The Volant Charitable Trust, Box 8, 196 Rose Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4AT or downloaded from www.volanttrust.com
The Links Foundation
The Links Foundation funds projects across England, Scotland and Wales. It funds new or existing projects and can help meet costs such as salary, rent and stationery as well as capital costs. It does not, however, fund individuals or core costs. Its aim is to benefit communities by providing, or assisting in the provision of, facilities or services necessary to improve their conditions of life. It will therefore support projects which meet the following criteria:
- Advancing people’s education
- Reducing significant disadvantage
- Assisting those in conditions of poverty, need or distress
- Providing for recreational or other leisure time occupation
However, this is not an exclusive list and the trustees will consider other criteria when there are special circumstances. The Board meets every four months and the closing date for applications is four weeks before the meeting. To find out when the next meeting is, check out the news section of its website at www.linksfoundation.org
WREN Small Grant Scheme
The WREN Small Grants Scheme has been established to assist applicants looking for funding on small projects that can make a real difference to a local community. Funding applications between £2,000 and £15,000 will be considered with a total project cost under £50,000 and the project must be within 10 miles of a Waste Recycling Group landfill site.
Types of projects which will be considered for the Small Grant Scheme include village halls, community centres, public parks, museums and playgrounds.
