Full details from Shanly Foundation
The Shanly Foundation's General Applications Fund is open throughout the year to a wide range of charities and community organisations working within the foundation's local awards area, which you can check on its website. Groups outside the area may apply if more than half their beneficiaries live within it. Awards are single, core or unrestricted grants across all kinds of charitable work, with a preference for frontline organisations working directly with people in need. Organisations can apply to one Shanly fund a year. Trustees meet monthly and usually review applications within three months, so the foundation recommends applying at least 10 weeks before you need a decision.
