is a grant-giving body founded in 2004 by members of the Kelly family. We’re interested in funding charities whose activities involve all or most family members, where possible, in initiatives that seek to tackle problems facing one or more of its members. We’ve funded charities working in fields including early intervention, mediation, prison services and services for families affected by sexual abuse, physical abuse and domestic violence, among others. We generally offer grants worth up to £5,000 – though trustees will consider requests for higher amounts. We’re happy to fund charities’ core costs and we encourage applications from relatively new charities to help them become established. The trustees take a close interest in the progress of the charities they support, and projects shortlisted for grants will usually be visited or contacted by the trust’s grants administrator Stuart Armstrong, or a trustee. The trustees have a wide range of skills and may offer support to funded charities if relevant. https://kfct.org.uk/
Tudor makes grants, and provides other types of support, to voluntary and community groups working in any part of the UK. We particularly want to help smaller, community-led organisations that work directly with people who are at the margins of society: organisations that support positive changes in people’s lives and in their communities. We want to respond flexibly to your ideas and energy, and to fund effective organisations working to high standards. Our ability to be flexible can mean that we are well-placed to support organisations which are in transition, whether they are entering a period of growth and development or are responding creatively to challenging circumstances. An independent grant maker As an independent grant maker an important part of our role is to support work which is untried and which has uncertain outcomes. However, we are not interested in innovation for innovation's sake: we also recognise the need for sound, practical work which seeks to bring stability and wellbeing into difficult places and situations. Trusting the groups we fund We trust the groups we fund and aim to build open and straightforward relationships with the groups we support. Our funding guidelines are broad because we want to support the work that you really want to do. We seek to give you the opportunity and practical tools to do the work that you know is needed. We try to offer high levels of support and engagement when this is helpful and appropriate. To find out more visit the website http://tudortrust.org.uk/what-we-do 15
