The Equitable Charitable Trust exists to promote and support education for children and young people under the age of 25 and, more particularly, for the benefit of young people with disabilities and/or from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The Trustees seek to identify and support good projects that address needs not adequately met at present, including those with potential to be introduced to large numbers of schools.
Type of Grant and Organisations funded
Grants can be made for project (revenue) costs, capital expenditure, equipment and/or salary costs for a post.
The type of organisation supported is broad; from small local charities to those operating at national level.
Area of Benefit
The majority of projects funded by the Trust take place within the UK at local or regional level, though national projects and those benefiting communities overseas (in developing countries only) can sometimes be supported.
Length of Grants
The length of funding can range from one to three years. Grants of more than one year are paid in annual instalments, with instalments beyond the first year payable on receipt of satisfactory progress reports.
Size of Grants
The size of grants made is typically between £2,500 and £30,000, with most being for sums of between £10,000 and £30,000.
