Emerton-Christie Charity

The Emerton-Christie Charity, a very small grant-making trust, provides a small amount of money each year to charities based and working within the UK.

While the trustees may select beneficiaries at their discretion, they tend to focus on the following:

• Education and training.
• The advancement of health or saving of lives.
• Disability
• Arts, culture, heritage, environment, conservation and science.

Most grants are for £3,000. UK-registered charities may apply. The funding is for those working with the disadvantaged, the arts or recognised health charities. The funding can be used for core costs.

Groups should send an email to the EC Charity, setting out who they are, what they do, and the funding for which they are applying. There is no need for charities to send their accounts, but they may send attachments that they think are relevant to their funding request.

Applications can be made at any time. However, as the trustees meet annually, generally in the Autumn, the appeals should be submitted ideally by the end of August.
