We regret that we are not able to fund:
- individuals – unless they are made through our ‘Partner Grants’ programme
- national or regional charities that do not have a physical base in Kent or Medway or in the case of our ‘Through the Gate’ programme, do not work in Kent prisons
- capital appeals where the requested grant would be less than 25% of the total cost
- statutory bodies and anything deemed to be the responsibility of the State including state-run nurseries, schools and colleges
- hospitals, health authorities, medical care, medical equipment or medical research
- academic research, scholarships or bursaries
- animal charities
- the promotion of religion
- heritage projects including the restoration or conservation of buildings
- annual or one-off events and festivals
- work outside of Kent or Medway
- endowment appeals
- work that has already taken place i.e. retrospective funding
- round-robin, widely circulated appeals.
