The Vinehill Trust

Our grants are typically up to £100,000 per annum for a maximum of three years. We assess the size of grants relative to the applicants’ overall turnover and to our available resources. We welcome applications for one-off grants of £25,000-£100,000.

We are lean and focused, applying maximum resources to charitable purposes, and we expect the same of grant recipients. We want to see that funded organisations are well governed and managed, that they have good finance and risk management systems and that they have the necessary skills and expertise to deliver their objectives.

We consider applications for emergency funding only exceptionally and where we are satisfied that robust management structures are in place to ensure that our funding generates long-term value.

We fund specific initiatives and projects rather than providing unrestricted funding.

Please note that we do not consider applications:

Outside our three areas of special interest
For retrospective funding
For capital appeals for construction projects
For campaigning and lobbying work
From statutory bodies or where there is a reasonable expectation of public funding
For endowments
For core running costs
From individuals
From organisations based outside the UK
From organisations which have applied and been rejected within the last twelve months
