The Brelms Trust is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) offering grants to a wide variety of charities operating in the community. Funding is given exclusively to charities based in Yorkshire and directly benefitting only Yorkshire communities.
Priority in our grant giving is given to charities working at the heart of communities to tackle disadvantage and to provide sustainable benefit to the community. Applications are welcomed from a diversity of charitable organisations and can cover staff salaries, volunteer expenses and running costs, as well as direct service provision.
The Trust does not generally support the total cost of a project, and applicants should demonstrate that wider funding plans are in place.
Grants are currently awarded from £1,000 to a maximum of £6,000 per year, either as a one-off amount or for up to a maximum of 3 consecutive years. Therefore, the minimum grant is for a one-off £1,000 and the maximum is £18,000 spread equally over a 3-year period.
The Trustees meet quarterly to make grant awards, but the assessment of applications is ongoing throughout the year.
Grants for capital projects are available to small and medium-sized charities registered in the UK working to assist homeless people to rebuild their lives and return to the community.
Grants of up to £2,000 for constituted charities, CICs, and voluntary and community groups with an annual income of less than £25,000, who are are providing vital services in their local communities.
Core and project funding for charities operating in the following areas: the arts, education, support for carers and older people, early intervention projects for disadvantaged children and young people, and more.
