How to apply
-
Check that you are eligible
Please read our grants policy, including the
detailed guidance for the relevant field of activity. We
welcome applications from those working in these fields, but please
apply only if you are satisfied that your charity and the work you are
asking us to support are eligible for a grant.
Apply in writing
You must follow the guidelines in the
Application Requirements
section for each field and must in particular include all the
information specified as failure to do so may mean we will not process
your request. We do not accept emailed applications so please apply in writing to:
- The Grants Administrator
The Will Charitable Trust Bridge House
11 Creek Road
EAST MOLESEY

The deadlines
are below, but please do not wait until the final
deadline to submit an application – large numbers of applications
received at the last minute mean we have less time to give them our
fullest consideration, which may affect your chances of success.

- Applications should be submitted from November and by
31 JANUARY at the latest.
Decisions are made in the following April and successful applicants will
be notified by the end of the month.
Cancer care

Further queriesIf you have read all the guidance, but are still unsure about
anything, try our FAQs, and for further help, or to discuss your
application, telephone or
email the
Grants
Office. It is only manned part time, so email is sometimes quicker.
-
Acknowledgment of applicationYour application will normally be acknowledged within
2 weeks.
Successful applicants will be notified before 30 April or 30 November as
applicable (see deadlines above). If you have not heard by those dates, you should assume
that your application has been unsuccessful. We are sorry that due to
the volume of applications we are unable to notify unsuccessful applicants
individually.
Grant conditionsDetails of any conditions
applicable to grants are included with the formal grant notification.
-
Reporting requirements
Generally we ask charities which have received
grants to submit a short update on their project by the application
deadline the following year, i.e.
- 31 January in fields of care of blind
people and care of people with learning disabilities;
- 31 August for
cancer care.
If we require further updates we will ask for them.
-
Publicity
We do not like publicity, so if you receive a grant from us we do not want to be acknowledged
in any publications or on your website.
This is not a secrecy provision and there is no objection to your revealing our identity to others
who wish to know.
