Please check your organisation’s eligibility, and read How we grant, our Programs and Applying for a grant to see if your work relates to our current areas of interest.

If you feel that your request is a strong match, please contact our Grants staff with an email request to discuss a potential application well before the closing date of the grant round. Initial consultation with HMSTrust Grants staff is required before you make an application for any of our grant levels.

Applicants should be aware that the likelihood of an unsolicited request being successful is extremely low.
