Contacting the Trust

Contacting the Rhododendron Trust

Our email address is rhodotrust@gmail.com .

Applications for Donations

The trust now only accepts applications for grants by email. It is very helpful if charities can use the correct modified email-address (see below).

​

We do not expect you to spend a lot of time writing tailored material for us. Please send us your general material, perhaps pointing to a particular project. However, we find it very helpful in comparing grant-giving opportunities if you tell us explicitly what a grant of £1,000 could pay for. If it would go into a large project, how big is the total budget for that project, and how many people might it reach?

 

Trust Annual Meeting and Decisions

All applications are considered and assessed carefully.

 

The (long) list of those applications judged to be worthy of further consideration will be considered by the Grant Officers and Trustees in time for the Trustees meeting in March, when successful applications will be decided. Charities will be informed on the outcome of their application after this.  

 

Invitations and Communications

If you would like to invite someone from the Trust to an Open Day or some other event where you showcase your charity, a Grants Officer or Trustee will try to attend. The invitations should be sent to rhodotrust@gmail.com which is the address for all other communications except grant applications.

​

We ask that grant applications use the following modified email addresses so that they are automatically correctly filed. If your charity’s work touches more than one of these categories, please make a judgement as to its greater aim or effect. The overseas category “development” and the UK category “deprivation” are very competitive and so if you can address one of our more specific categories then it may be judicious to do so.
