Mary Homfray Charitable Trust

The Mary Homfray Charitable Trust offers grants of between £1000 and £5000 to a wide range of charitable causes, with a focus on those operating in Wales where Mary lived for most of her life. Priority for support is given to charities that Mary herself is keen on, as well as those that the trustees have a personal connection to. Whilst the Trust likes to offer continued support year on year to selected charities, there are also new ones added each year at the discretion of the trustees.

To date the Trust has had the privilege of supporting over 100 charities with a diverse range. Recurrent themes due to Mary’s own interests and those of the trustees are Alzheimer’s/dementia, homelessness and wildlife conservation.

 

Charities must be UK registered, but may operate anywhere in the world. If a charity is in the process of UK registration they may still be eligible by applying via the UK Fund for Charities. Priority is given to charities operating in Wales.

Applications must be fitted on a single page; please keep it simple, if we require further information we will request it from you.

Once your application has been submitted please do not chase us as the Trustees will only consider your application at their annual meeting each Spring.

We prefer smaller charities where the impact of our money will not get lost. We are unable to support large medical research charities, with the exception of Alzheimer’s/dementia.
