Grantmaking trusts and foundations
Grantmaking trusts and foundations exist solely to make grants to meet their agreed charitable purposes – which may be general or specific. Many are charities themselves, run on a voluntary basis by a board of trustees. They vary enormously in size, interests and the way they operate. In short, there is no such thing as a typical trust.
Coordinating your application
You can apply to any local trust or foundation where the MS Society is not able to apply nationally. It’s important to coordinate your application with us, as most trusts only consider one application from the same charity at a time and more than one group may be eligible to apply.
Check with your Community Fundraiser that you can apply, and get their support if you need it.
Before approaching local authorities or health bodies, you’ll need to speak to your Regional Development Officer (England) or Community Development Officer (other nations), as we're likely to be in contact with them already.
