The Kelly Family Charitable Trust awards grants of up to £5,000 (sometimes higher) to UK registered charities whose activities involve all or most family members, where possible, in initiatives that seek to tackle problems facing one or more of its members. The three areas that the Trust wishes to support are:
- Interventions that support families and help them in ways that prevent the fracture of the family unit, e.g, practical family support, relationship counselling, mediation
- Families where sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, alcohol abuse and drugs abuse threaten the integrity of the family unit
- Prisoners and in particular their families, during and after the period of imprisonment
The trust prefers to support charities whose income is below £500,000. However, larger charities with pioneering pilot projects will be considered. The Trust will consider both capital and revenue grants. The Trust is happy to support requests for core funding as well as project-based grants, and actively encourages applications from relatively new organisations to help them become established.
Deadline: Ongoing. Applications are reviewed bi-annually. Applications must be submitted by 1 March and 1 September to be considered at the next review.
