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 July meeting is the principal one for the award of grants in respect of applications made to the Administrative Trustee by the end of the previous April.

The next round of applications and grant giving is for 2009 and applcations should be made to Frank Jackson OBE, Lower Wakefield, 116 Foley Road, Claygate, Surrey. KT10 0NA (Tel: 01372 805760) no later than the 30th April 2009.

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 July 2009. 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 July 2009 indicates that it has not been possible to fund it.

This should not deter applicants from making a further application the following year.
