If you have a cause, a plan or know someone who could benefit from Trust funding within our area please let the Trustees know by making an application. You can hand deliver, post or e-mail your application to The Secretary to the Trustees.
Remember that The Trust was formed for the benefit of the residents of Publow with Pensford Parish and Stanton Drew Parish, so it takes grant applications for causes within these, or that demonstrably benefit the residents of these villages. Any resident or group within the villages is/are welcome to apply to the Trust for a grant towards a community project.
The aim of the Trust is to achieve as much as possible with its available funds and the Trustees carefully consider all applications and try to balance demand with supply. Wherever possible the Trust will encourage match funding or seek to assist other specific fund raising schemes but where appropriate it will make grants covering the entire cost.
The Trustees award grants based entirely on application and they seek to maintain a complete independence when making grant awards.
Applications are confidential to the Trustees and will remain so until or if a grant is made when, unless it is exceptional personal circumstances, the grant award will be publicised. All declined applications will remain confidential.
