WILLIAM KENDALL SMALL GRANTS PROGRAMME FOR BEXLEY
The Small Grants Programme for Bexley from the Worshipful Company of Wax Chandlers William Kendall's Charity is NOW OPEN for applications.
There have been some changes to previous rounds, primarily a simplified application form and an increase to the maximum grant amount,
Aims:
The William Kendall Charity of the Worshipful Company of Wax Chandlers aims to fund charitable purposes for the general benefit of the inhabitants of the London Borough of Bexley, and the relief of need, hardship or distress.
Who can apply:
-
Organisations must be based in the London Borough of Bexley and/or benefit Bexley residents.
-
Organisations must be formally constituted and not–for–profit with a charity and/or limited company reference number.
The programme will NOT fund:
-
individuals, directly or indirectly
-
statutory/public bodies
-
groups with a political purpose
-
organisations which exist solely to make a profit, with no community benefit
Priorities
-
deliver specific improvements to people’s lives in the Borough of Bexley, with a focus on Erith, Slade Green, Thamesmead and the area of the ancient parish of Bexley.
- deliver an impact on either education & training broadly e.g. schools, youth clubs, adult training - or on the relief of need, hardship, or distress e.g. debt relief, food banks etc.
These are preferences not requirements, and the closer to this profile your project is, the more likely an award is to be made. Each application will be considered on its specific merits.
How much can you apply for?
The maximum grant is £5,000. Wax Chandlers do not make grants of less than £500. Grants must be used within 12 months of receipt of the grant offer letter.
