CLA Charitable Trust Fund

The CLA Charitable Trust (CLACT) provides funding to support charitable organizations that use the countryside to promote health and wellbeing of people and provide educational opportunities about the countryside in England and Wales. The trust prioritizes children and young people who are disadvantaged financially, physically, mentally, or from areas of deprivation. CLACT makes one-off grants for running costs, project works, and capital works, with applicants able to reapply after three years. Occasionally, multi-year funding may be awarded at the discretion of trustees. The fund is designed to help small and medium-sized charities and not-for-profit organizations with clear social purpose that demonstrate evidence of need.
