Full details from The Clare Milne Trust
The Clare Milne Trust gives grants to registered charities and not-for-profit organisations whose work benefits disabled children, young people and adults living in Devon and Cornwall. This covers physical, learning, mental and sensory disabilities. The Trust focuses on small yet impactful charities with a strong volunteer base. Trustees consider a wide range of projects, including activities, advice and support, capital projects such as new equipment or building work, core costs, salaries and training. The minimum grant is £5,000. There is no upper limit for registered charities; CICs and other not-for-profit organisations can apply for up to £14,999. Trustees will not normally fund the whole project, so applicants should show how the rest will be raised. Trustees meet four times a year.
