Grants from The Edgar E Lawley Foundation

The Trustees of the Edgar E Lawley Foundation normally meet twice a year in January and July. The January meeting is now the principal one for the award of grants in respect of applications made to the Administrative Trustee during the previous October. Applications received after 31st October will be excluded from consideration.

The next round of applications and grant giving is now is for 2010 and applcations should be made therefore to Frank Jackson OBE, Lower Wakefield, 116 Foley Road, Claygate, Surrey. KT10 0NA (Tel: 01372 805760) during September/October 2010 and absolutely no later than the 31st October 2010.

The Foundation receives many more applications than it can fund and currently is using six broad areas to ensure balance in its grant giving programme.

Those areas are -:

Hospices

Children and Young People

Elderly

Community

Disabled

Medical, Research and other Miscellaneous Projects.

Applications should be made in writing outlining the reasons for the grant request and the amount of grant being sought. Any supporting information that adds to the strength of the application should be included.

Successful applicants will receive the approved grants by the end of January 2011. The Foundation regrets that it is not possible, unless a stamped addressed envelope has been provided, to communicate with unsuccessful applicants and the fact that a grant has not been received by the end of  January 2011 indicates that it has not been possible to fund it.

This should not deter applicants from making a further application the following year for which applications will need to be submitted during September/ October  2011 and absolutely no later than 31st October 2011.
