GUIDELINES FOR APPLICANTS

The Weinstock Fund makes grants to fund projects and activities carried out by other charities.

Intending applicants must note the following:

Who may apply?

The Trustees consider applications from UK-registered charities and exempted charities. The Weinstock Fund does not accept applications from individuals.

The Trustees prioritise charities that the Weinstock Fund has supported historically. An application by a charity not benefitted by the Weinstock Fund since 2018 is unlikely to succeed.

Your application is very unlikely to succeed if:

  • your charity has not received a grant from the Weinstock Fund since 2018

and

  • your charity has a gross income of more than £2m per annum
  • your charity is a hospice or focuses on campaigning or research
  • your charity has a full-time employee earning more than £100,000 per annum
  • you are a charity with an income of more than £1m per annum but you have not registered with the Funding Regulator
What type of work does the Weinstock Fund support?

The Weinstock Fund supports charities working in the following areas:

  • Medical care and treatment, including respite care
  • Education, training and care for adults and children with impairments and special needs
  • Care and support of the elderly
  • Care and support for children
  • Hardship alleviation
  • Community
  • Culture and environment
  • Health and welfare
  • Music and the arts
How do we apply?

You must register first in order to complete your application online. You will then be asked to check your eligibility for a grant by answering six brief questions.

The following documents must be uploaded in electronic format:

  • Most recent annual report and financial accounts
  • Income and expenditure budget for the project/activity
  • Safeguarding policy
  • Data protection/privacy policy

Once you have completed and submitted your application you will receive an automated confirmation by email that it has been received.

How long will it take to consider our application?

You will be able to check progress by logging back into this portal. Applications may take several months to process.

Contact with your charity with regard to your application

You must notify the Weinstock Fund if the contact for your application or contact details at your charity change after you have submitted your application. If you do not do so your application may be jeopardised.

When can we re-apply?

You may re-apply a year after receipt of a grant or notification of an unsuccessful appeal.

Privacy

Your email address will be used to send:

  • an acknowledgement
  • other correspondence relating to your application

Any personal data which you provide in your application will be processed in accordance with the Weinstock Fund’s privacy policy.
