The Clare Milne Trust provides grants between £2,500 and £30,000 for registered charities that are working to improve the quality of life for people with a disability in Devon and Cornwall. In particular, the Trust focuses its grant-making on smaller, effective charities with good volunteer support. The Trust does not fund national charities. There is no set level of grant award, although the Trust rarely awards a grant of under £2,500.

Eligible charities should meet the following criteria:

• Be small, well-run and with an annual income of under £1 million (this is the accepted UK definition of a “small charity”).
• Have modest expenditure on fundraising and administration, and
• Have strong support from volunteers.

Deadline: Applications can be submitted throughout the year.
