The Dowager Countess Eleanor Peel Trust

28 Mar 2014 - 10:49 by michelle.foster

The Dowager Countess Eleanor Peel Trust are offering grants of over £5,000 to registered charities with the emphasis on helping: medical charities and research; older people; and those who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own.

Preference is given to smaller to medium sized charities where grants will make a difference. Applications for general grants from large well-funded charities (income in excess of £2.5million per annum) will be rejected.

The Trustees aim to support fewer charities with larger average grants.

The Trustees’ preference is to support capital projects or project driven applications rather than running costs or general operating expenses. However, the Trustees are flexible to take account of the needs of medium and smaller charities (income up to £2.5m).

While there is no geographical limitation on applicants, applications from charities operating in the “Preferred Locations” of Lancashire (especially Lancaster and District), Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside will receive preference over applications for support in all other geographical areas.

Deadline: Wednesday 30 April 2014
