J Paul Getty Junior Charitable Trust Re-opens for Applications
J Paul Getty Junior Charitable Trust Re-opens for Applications Following a review and revision of its funding guidelines, the J Paul Getty Junior Charitable Trust has re-opened for grant applications. Under the new guidelines the Trust will make grants of up to £250,000 in the areas of social welfare as well as the arts and heritage. In particular, the trust is seeking to support projects:
- In the areas of reducing re-offending
- Improving the prospects of young people, refugees and asylum seekers
- Integrating different social and ethnic groups
- Tackling substance misuse and homelessness; preserving heritage
- Sustaining the arts.
The Trust will usually only support registered charities in England, although applications may sometimes be considered from other parts of the United Kingdom if the project is likely to be of nationwide significance. Occasionally, the Trust will fund organisations of comparable charitable status, such as Industrial Provident Societies or Community Interest Companies, but only where there is a very strong connection with one or more of the Trust’s current funding priorities.
Applications can be made at any time.
