Research, Advocacy and Development Fund

The Pilgrim Trust's Research, Advocacy and Development Fund allows the Trust to make strategic interventions in their areas of interest, where they may bring about systemic change, drive forward policy and practice, or strengthen the sector. The fund supports projects, ideas and organisations that do research, advocacy and sector development work in young women's mental health and preservation and conservation of historic buildings and collections. The Trust aims to be more conversational rather than transactional in their approach. Normally they build partnerships and then invite applications for initiatives they are interested in supporting. This is a strategic fund with a small pot of funding set aside for this work. The Trust emphasizes being flexible, unbureaucratic, collaborative and pioneering in their approach. While they are always happy to hear about projects and ideas, at the moment they are unlikely to support further research and advocacy work in the young women's mental health field as they already have a couple of proposals under development. Interested applicants are encouraged to email the Director directly to discuss proposals.
