Our funding

The Trust aims to make a lasting difference to the people of Kent by making grants that will reduce the impact of poverty and social exclusion. 
 
Organisations that are interested in applying for funding should follow the links on this website to find out about our grant programmes.  It is important to read the grant guidance material carefully before making an application and we also recommend that applicants download the application form questions and prepare their application in advance.
 
The Trust operates with a small part-time staff team and therefore it is not easy to reach us on the telephone. We recommend that you communicate with us by email grantadmin@cfct.org.uk
 
Please remember that the Trust receives many more grant applications than it has funds to support.   For this reason many excellent projects do not receive funding.  The Trustees and staff are not able to enter into lengthy dialogue about why a project was unsuccessful.
