Marsh Christian Trust (The) (England, Scotland and Wales) - Deadline: Rolling
The Marsh Christian Trust was founded in 1981 with the sum of £75,000 by its current Chairman, Mr Brian Marsh OBE.
His aim was to create a sustainable way to give something back to society by supporting organisations and people who are making a difference. The Trust supports around 300 charities every year and focuses on providing funding which could help small organisations pay for various running costs, such as volunteer expenses, training days, equipment maintenance and other core outgoings. The Trust aims to build long-standing relationships with successful applicants and, subject to annual review, continue its support over time.
Applicants must be a registered charity with the Charity Commission for England and Wales or the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator; this does not include Community Interest Companies (CiCs).
Charities will be working the areas of:
• Arts and heritage,
• Social welfare,
• Environmental causes and animal welfare,
• Education and training,
• Healthcare.
Charities must have been established for more than one financial year and be able to provide a full set of their most recent Annual Report and accounts, or the equivalent financial information if their annual income is under £25,000.
Grants are unrestricted and range from £300 to £2,000 with new applications at the lower end of this scale. Applications are considered on the basis of the organisation’s financial position performance against charitable aims and objectives and the ratio of voluntary income against fundraising expenses.
