Welcome

The Longley Trust is a small grant giving trust supporting organisations helping people in Crawley

Who can apply for a grant?

The Longley Trust only funds organisations operating to benefit the people of Crawley

  • The trust has limited resources so priority will be given to small organisations where the funding will have the greatest impact.
  • Grants are given to charities and also community groups where activities further the charitable purpose of the trust, which is to enhance the lives of people in Crawley.
  • We do not fund religious organisations to promote their religion, although we may fund community outreach work.
  • We take safeguarding seriously and expect grant recipients who work with children or vulnerable adults, to have and follow appropriate policies.
  • We also ask for an organisation’s accounts or financial record. If the group is not a charity, we also require a copy of the constitution.
  • Community interest Companies must identify their chosen asset lock organisation.
We meet quarterly in March, June, September and December. The deadline for considering applications at each meeting is receipt by the last day of the previous month. As a rule, only successful applicants are contacted.
