Kelly Family Charitable Trust Grants

The Kelly Family Charitable Trust is a grant-giving body founded in 2004 by members of the Kelly family. The Trust is interested in funding charities whose activities involve all or most family members, where possible, in initiatives that seek to tackle problems facing one or more of its members. The Trust has funded charities working in fields including early intervention, mediation, prison services and services for families affected by sexual abuse, physical abuse and domestic violence, among others. The Trust generally offers grants worth up to £5,000, though trustees will consider requests for higher amounts. They are happy to fund charities' core costs and encourage applications from relatively new charities to help them become established. The trustees take a close interest in the progress of the charities they support, and projects shortlisted for grants will be contacted by the trust's grants administrator or a trustee. The Trust only makes grants to organisations whose activities take place within the UK. This funding opportunity is designed to support family-focused charitable initiatives that address various social challenges affecting families and their members.
