How to Apply


Charities can apply for a grant at any time. The Trustees meet twice a year, with deadlines for applications on 1st May and 1st October.  Urgent applications may be considered separately: please highlight and explain the need for urgency in your covering letter.

  • Applications should be made in writing or by email.
  • Please explain concisely the reasons for your request and the expected outcomes.
  • For national charities care should be taken, wherever possible, to explain how your work will specifically benefit the people of Merseyside and the surrounding region.
  • Where possible, please ask for a specific sum, rather than simply asking for “a contribution”
  • Please enclose with your application any details relating to budgets or costs and, where relevant, details of any funding already received from other sources.
  • To ensure efficient payment of funds, in the event of an application being successful, please include with your application: bank name; account name; account number; sort code.
