Funding

Hilton Charitable Fund - Now Open to Applications

The Hilton Charitable Fund awards grants to projects both in the UK and in developing countries, with the aim of addressing disadvantage, particularly in support of causes less likely to attract public funding.

 

The Fund's current funding priorities in the UK are as follows:

• Homelessness.
• Asylum seekers and refugees.
• Community-based initiatives for young people aged 16-25.
• Penal affairs.

Applications are invited from registered charities and other charitable organisations in the UK, although preference is given to charities with an income of less than £200,000 per year. Grants are rarely given to well-funded national charities, as funding is directed largely at supporting work at a community level within the Fund's categories of interest.

 

The Overseas Countries funding programme is designed to help small and medium-sized community development, education and health initiatives.

 

Trustees will particularly welcome projects that address the needs and potential of girls and women.

The Fund will be pleased to hear from UK non-governmental organisations/charites and hopes that UK NGOs/charities will encourage their local partners, if appropriate, to apply directly to Hilden for grantaid.

 

The deadline for applications is the first week in September 2010.
