The Woodward Charitable Trust General Grants Programme

The Woodward Charitable Trust provides grants to UK-registered organisations supporting disadvantaged families with young children up to age 11, and organisations working directly with children aged 0-11 years. The Trust prioritises organisations working in parenting/caregiving support, educational programmes for children, programmes benefiting children's wellbeing and development, and pre-natal/post-natal support services. Grants are available for core costs to organisations with annual income up to £200,000. The Trust aims to support communities across the UK and prioritises applications from organisations that evidence strong positive outcomes, promote community engagement and cohesion, skills development, volunteering opportunities, and collaborative working. At least 75% of an organisation's work must align with the Trust's focus on families and children aged 0-11. The Trustees review applications once a year, typically in October or November.
