Weinstock Fund

The Fund supports a broad range of charitable causes, including welfare, children's services, education, medicine, music and the arts. It has a particular interest in charities working with disabled children and adults, elderly people, and those in hardship. Grants are directed towards direct, practical activities that benefit people and communities. Multi-year funding of up to three years is available. While the Fund operates across England, it retains a strong historical connection to the South West and often supports charities based or working there.

Applications are accepted from UK-registered charities and exempted charities. The Fund does not accept applications from individuals. It favours smaller organisations with a clear purpose and strong local impact, particularly those working in the South West of England. Charities must be registered in the United Kingdom. The Fund has a particular interest in organisations supporting disabled children and adults, elderly people, and those in hardship, as noted above.

The Weinstock Fund does not fund research projects, as it prioritises direct service delivery. It also does not support large-scale campaigning or advocacy work. Furthermore, the Fund does not accept applications from individuals; only registered charities are eligible. These exclusions ensure that grants go to organisations providing tangible benefits to people and communities.

The Fund offers multi-year grants of up to three years. It favours a discreet, relationship-based approach and long-term partnerships with grantees. Unsolicited applications are welcome. The Fund's approach is rooted in practical philanthropy, supporting charities that deliver direct benefits.
