Funding Opportunities

Elise Pilkington Charitable Trust Equine Welfare Grant

The Elise Pilkington Charitable Trust offers grants to UK registered equine charities that are members of the National Equine Welfare Council (NEWC) or actively working towards membership. The Trust is particularly interested in supporting initiatives that take a proactive and creative approach to tackling the root causes of welfare issues. Projects may include practical interventions, education, or other innovative solutions designed to prevent suffering before it occurs. Grants are awarded for capital projects or time-limited specific projects. The Trustees meet twice a year in spring and autumn to review applications, with the next funding round scheduled for Autumn 2026. Core costs may be included if they directly support project delivery such as staff time, rent, and utilities used for the work.
