About
Established in 1930, Baron Davenport's Charity is a charitable organization operating in the Birmingham and West Midlands region. The Charity provides grants in four main categories: residential homes for older people, almshouses and hospices; organizations supporting children and young people under 25; organizations supporting older people in their retirement; and grants to individuals, particularly single women in retirement or emergency situations. The Charity's area of benefit extends to the City of Birmingham and West Midland counties within 60 miles of Birmingham Town Hall.
Funding Opportunities
Grants to Organisations Supporting Older People
Baron Davenport's Charity provides grants to organisations supporting older people in their retirement. These grants are awarded for special projects, equipment, and running costs. The level of grant is entirely at the discretion of the Trustees. Applications are considered twice yearly with distributions made in late May/early June (Spring) and at the end of November (Autumn). Applications for the Spring distribution should be received no later than 15 March and for the Autumn no later than 15 September. The charity asks that no more than one application be made in each twelve months, so if you are awarded a grant at the Autumn distribution, you should not make a further application until Autumn the following year. The charity tries to visit as many applicants as possible each year, particularly organisations applying for the first time.
Children's Organisations Grants
Baron Davenport's Charity provides grants to organisations established for the benefit of children and young people under the age of 25. Grants are considered for special projects, equipment and running costs. Applications from national charities should be submitted by their local branch where appropriate. Amounts awarded in this category begin at around £200 and are unlikely to exceed £1,000. Grants are always at the discretion of the Trustees. Examples of eligible organisations include uniformed groups (scouts, guides, sea cadets), groups supporting disadvantaged children, organisations providing holidays for children, groups supporting young people with learning or physical difficulties, youth clubs, faith organisations doing work specifically with young people, and playgroups. Applications are considered twice yearly with distributions made in late May/early June (Spring) and at the end of November (Autumn). Applications for the Spring distribution should be received no later than 15 March and for the Autumn no later than 15 September. No more than one application may be made in each twelve-month period.
Homes for Older People, Almshouses and Hospices Grant

Applications are considered twice yearly with distributions made in late May/early June (Spring) and at the end of November (Autumn).

The application process requires organizations to complete a simple online form after registering, and the Charity attempts to visit as many applicants as possible each year, particularly first-time applicants.
