Guidelines for Applicants.

The Gisela Graham Foundation is a small charity which reflects the wishes and support of the proprietor, Gisela Graham, together with her fellow Trustees. The Foundation aims to provide financial benefit to those in need through the provision of grants and other payments to provide assistance in specific cases of poverty and poor education; it will also help to further the advancement of public health and safety and to provide education and cultural life for the general benefit of society.

  • Applications will only be considered from corporate bodies and registered charities.
  • Any donations may be for a general or particular purpose of the corporate body or registered charity.
  • There are no geographical limits on the provision of aid.
  • Grants may be by means of a single payment, regular payment or an on-going commitment to a specific project over a period of time.
  • Grants awarded are normally for sums under £10,000, but most donations are for less than £5,000.
  • Unsuccessful applicants should wait at least two years before reapplying.
  • As this is a small charity, donations for very localised charities would only be made in exceptional cases
