Overview
The Educational and General Charitable Trust offers grants to small UK charities. It supports work in three areas: education, the environment and international development. The page says this includes organisations working in the UK and overseas. This fund suits charities that already have some financial track record. You will need to show annual income of at least £50,000 to be eligible. The Trust describes its preferred areas as education, the environment and international development, so your work should fit one of these. The page lists the grant amount as discretionary. That means no minimum or maximum award is stated, so it is hard to plan around a set figure. You can apply at any time, so there is no fixed closing date. However, applications are only considered once a year, in November. The page lists the status as live. One practical point to keep in mind. The directory entry is tagged with Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside as locations, while the eligibility text refers to UK charities more widely. The Trust's own website carries more information, so it is worth reading it before you apply. Official source: https://www.actiontogether.org.uk/educational-and-general-charitable-trust.
