Robert Clutterbuck Charitable Trust Grants

The Robert Clutterbuck Charitable Trust exists to help other charities by making grants to them within set priority areas. The Trust makes grants ranging from £1,000 to £3,000 for specific items and projects rather than running costs. The Trustees generally favor charities with an annual turnover of £500,000 or less, with exceptions for service welfare charities. The Trust supports six main priority areas: personnel within the Armed Forces and ex-servicemen and women; sport and recreational facilities for young people (priority to Cheshire and Hertfordshire); welfare, protection and preservation of domestic animal life (priority to Cheshire and Hertfordshire); natural history and wildlife; hospices, churches, schools, health and social welfare charities associated with Cheshire and Hertfordshire; and charities that would have had particular appeal to the founder, Major Robert Clutterbuck. The Trustees meet twice yearly in March and September to approve grants, with application deadlines of June 30th and December 31st each year. The Trust does not consider applications for payments to individuals and will not normally consider appeals from charities within two years of a previous grant being approved.
