Whitehill Chase Foundation

The Foundation supports a wide range of charitable purposes, focusing on community welfare and grassroots initiatives. It funds both unrestricted core costs and project-based activities, allowing recipient organisations to address their most pressing needs. There is a strong preference for groups local to Bordon, Hampshire, but the Trust has discretion to support charitable work elsewhere in England and Wales. Beneficiaries are typically smaller local charities, trusts, and community organisations addressing evolving needs, rather than large national entities or structured campaigns. The Trust does not have a fixed thematic strategy, instead responding flexibly to the needs of the communities it serves.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups, ideally smaller grassroots outfits with a local focus in and around Bordon, Hampshire. The Trust does not impose strict income thresholds or religious restrictions. It prioritises organisations that serve the local community and address evolving charitable needs. Unsolicited applications are not accepted — grants are awarded by invitation only at the trustees' discretion.

The Foundation does not support individuals, non-charitable entities, or causes unrelated to its charitable objects. It also excludes large national entities and structured campaigns, focusing instead on grassroots, local organisations. Grants are not made through public programmes or open applications.

The Trust awards grants by invitation only, at the trustees' ad hoc discretion. Unsolicited applications are not accepted. Funding can be for unrestricted core costs or specific project-based initiatives. The Trust operates as a low-profile, locality-anchored funder, offering trustee-selected support to bolster local charitable infrastructure.
