Use of Free Reserves/Unrestricted Funds

The Trustees aim to ensure that the grants the Charity makes will make a difference. They do try and target their donations towards charities where the amount requested could not reasonably be afforded from the charity’s own reserves or where there is insufficient income to cover the running costs that they are being asked to fund. Where an applicant has significant reserves the Trustees would request that the applicant state why the funding could not be paid out of these reserves. If you are seeking a grant in excess of 4 times your free reserves, please provide a statement on the use of your reserves.
