Guide to grants for other organisations...

The Society’s trustees have decided that although their principal charitable activity will remain the making of grants to individual women, in 2009 they will make £50,000 available for grants to other organisations. Applications will be considered for funding towards projects which represent the complete work of a small organisation, or a particular undertaking by a larger one.

Criteria

1. In order to meet the requirements of our governing document, the Trustees will only consider applications for support for projects which are for the exclusive benefit of women in financial need. It cannot consider projects which also benefit
   1. men
   2. children
   3. women who are not in financial need

2. The Trustees have decided to make grants to other organisations based and operating in the UK in order to broaden the scope of their work. They will not consider applications from other grant making organisations

3. Priority will be given to smaller projects where it can be demonstrated that the Society’s grant will make a real difference
