29th May 1961 Charitable Trust Grant

The 29th May 1961 Charitable Trust provides grants to UK registered charities and organizations deemed exempt or excepted under Charity Commission guidance. The Trust operates a rolling application programme with quarterly trustee meetings typically held in March, June, September, and December. Applications can be submitted at any time throughout the year with no set deadlines. The Trust evaluates applications on a case-by-case basis and awards grants at varying levels based on trustee decisions. Organizations that have previously received funding must wait at least 2 years before reapplying, and those with unsuccessful applications must wait at least 13 months before submitting a new application. The grant program does not fund individuals or medical research. All applications must be submitted through an online application form accessed after completing an eligibility quiz. The decision notification timeframe can take up to 16 weeks depending on when the application is submitted relative to trustee meeting schedules. Trustees may award grants at different levels than requested and do not operate on an 'all or nothing' basis. Grant payments are made by direct bank transfer upon acceptance of the grant offer and completion of required documentation.
