We're pleased to announce our main grant round for 2023 is now open!
This year, our grantmaking will focus on one clear theme: Core Costs. As outlined by NCVO, ”Core costs are the running costs of your organisation. This is the money you need to make its work happen. These are also called overheads, running costs or operating costs.” We will however still support new projects, and new organisations, to deliver amazing work with and for those that live, work, or study in Stratford-upon-Avon.
James McHugh, Grants Manager at Stratford Town Trust said: "Organisations are seeing significant increase in demand for services whilst at the same time funding is stretched. With a singular focus on core costs, we want potential applicants to know that they can come to us with fantastic ideas, and that we'll consider funding them to actually deliver those ideas – and that our funding will not be unnecessarily restrictive."
Please contact James or Catherine for a chat about your ideas before applying: applications@stratfordtowntrust.co.uk or call 01789 207108 / 207114 to to talk through any ideas!
