Grant Requests & How To Apply
All applications and enquiries will be treated in total confidence.
The Sunninghill Trust will consider grants for the benefit of individuals and groups in the environs of Sunninghill, Ascot and Cheapside, for the relief of hardship, assistance to the sick and elderly, and to support recreational and educational facilities.
The Sunninghill Trust will not consider grants for individuals and groups that would otherwise be the responsibility of central or local government, health trusts or health authorities, or which are substantially funded by them. We do not support retrospective funding, i.e., needs that have already been addressed.
The Trustees take an active role in their grant-making, and may research the area of need, request help from specialist advisors and make visits to bring forward suitable proposals. We may carry out follow-up visits to assess what is being achieved and any lessons resulting from it.
Grants do not have to be repaid.
