Edith Murphy Foundation Grant

The grants purpose is to support other organisations (predominantly, but not exclusively, other registered charities) that:

• carry out research,
• support individuals who by reason of their age, youth, infirmity, disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances are suffering hardship, distress or are otherwise in need,
• relieve the suffering and care for unwanted animals

The value of grants made is normally between £500 and £5,000 although larger grants are made in some circumstances.

Applications for registered charities must be made online through the Ludlow Funding Enquiry Gateway.

Use of the gateway will ensure that the proposal is brought to the attention of the Trustees quickly and allow the applicant to apply to other grant making charities managed by Ludlow.

For charities that are not registered with the Charity Commission, applications can be emailed.

You must ensure that you provide the following information when making an application:

• The charity name
• The charity registration number provided by the Charity Commission
• What the grant will be used for
• Who will benefit
• The amount being requested with a breakdown of the costs being incurred
• Other fundraising activities and the amount raised to date

Grants are made to organisations that are not registered charities. For these applications, the same information will be required.  You will also be asked to complete a form to clarify the tax residency of your organisation and additional documentation may be requested depending on your organisations structure.

As a registered charity the Foundation is required to demonstrate public benefit. As such no applications from individuals are considered.

The Foundation’s trustees meet four times a year to consider grant applications and manage the Foundation business.

Dates are fixed three months in advance but tend to be in January, April, July and October.
