APPLY FOR FUNDING AND GRANTS

Grant criteria

The Trust only gives funds to medically related worthy causes affecting individuals or organisations living in Coventry and Warwickshire. The amount available is based on the income generated from capital investments.
The WPH Charitable Trustees meet quarterly to consider and approve applications.

The next meeting is on the 10th October 2023 and the deadline for applications is midnight on 27th September 2023. “Applications received less than 14 days prior to the quarterly Board Meeting will only be considered if time permits”. However if an urgent application is received it will be discussed outside these time frames. Applications of less than £1500 may be approved outside the formal meeting.

You will receive an automatic notification from the charity when your application is received. If not please email the charity at info@warwickshirehealthcharity.org.uk
If you have not heard of an outcome from the charity by eight weeks after your application then please email the charity at the same email address.

  • Grants are considered from a wide range of applicants, including individuals, groups and organisations. The size of awards may vary considerably from less than a hundred pounds upwards.An equally wide range of funding purposes is considered, so applicants may require contributions to capital projects, for the purchase of specialist equipment, or for healthcare costs.

    • Medical research projects

  • All applications from individuals must be accompanied by a supporting letter from an appropriate professional, outlining the case for support.
  • All applications for goods or services to be purchased must be accompanied by at least two quotations.
  • If an applicant has been unsuccessful but has new problems or the circumstances alter they may re-apply and a decision will be made that is completely independent of the earlier one.
  • Decisions are not influenced by an applicants’ willingness to agree to publicity. Although on occasion the WPH Trust might like to publise a donation there is no pressure exerted on applicants, and if they have offered to take part in promoting the Charity they may change their minds about being involved at any time.
  • The trustees’ decisions are final and no feedback is provided.
