THE HELEN GRAHAM CHARITABLE TRUST
Applications are open from the 1st of August to the 15th of September (5pm).
The Trust has been established to provide for the benefit of charitable groups. To be eligible for assistance, your group must be of a charitable or educational nature and situated within the area bordered by the Horowhenua District Council boundaries to the North, East and West and by the Otaki River to the South;
The Trust supports education, medical research, organisations involved in research or therapy for the physically disabled, and general charitable purposes beneficial to the community.
Applications made to the Helen Graham Charitable Trust may also be considered for funding from the Thomas Bevan Family Charitable Trust
Applications are not accepted for capital expenditure, or from organisations based outside the specified area, schools, individuals, sports organisations and service clubs.
Grants are considered by an Advisory Board, which makes recommendations to Public Trust. As a guide to applicants, grants are unlikely to exceed $2,000. Applications are considered in October/November and Public Trust’s decision will be advised to each applicant before the end of November 2017.
The decision of the Trustee is final and no further discussion will be entertained.
Decisions regarding grants made are on the basis of information provided in the application and other enquiries. It is important that the application form be completed in full and that details provided are concise and easy to read. A condition of any grant made is that it be identified a “Public Trust – The Helen Graham Charitable Trust” in your accounts for the financial year in which the grant is received.
Late applications will not be accepted.
