Wright's Clock Land CIO
About This Funder
Wright's Clock Land CIO, established in October 2020 as a charitable incorporated organisation succeeding the 1525 Wright's Clock Land Charity endowed by Richard Wright, is rooted in centuries-old stewardship of Fulbourn's Parish Church of St Vigor with All Saints. Its core mission preserves the church's clock, bells, tower, fittings, building, churchyard, and monuments while advancing any charitable purposes benefiting the Parish of Fulbourn public, blending historic heritage conservation with broad community support. Values of stewardship, local heritage, and responsive philanthropy guide its trustees in balancing traditional mandates with modern parish needs.
The CIO funds heritage restoration (e.g., tower, bells, graves, walls), church infrastructure improvements, and diverse parish-wide charitable activities, including community facilities, local projects, and support for organisations like the Parochial Church Council. It prioritises capital projects, equipment, and limited multi-year recurring grants for grassroots efforts enhancing Fulbourn's communal life, with flexibility for trustees-discretion public benefits but rare individual hardship aid.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups based in or serving the Parish of Fulbourn, with preference for small, local voluntary bodies and no strict income limits. Applications are unsolicited via downloadable forms emailed to steward@wrightsclockland.com on a rolling basis; decisions follow periodic trustee meetings (weeks to months), potentially requiring meetings or safeguarding compliance. Typical grants range £1,000–£20,000, scaling to £100,000+ for major projects.
Exclusions encompass anything outside Fulbourn parish, non-charitable activities, or core/unrestricted funding as standard; its distinctive hyper-local, legacy-driven focus on church heritage fused with parish charity sets it apart as Fulbourn's enduring endowment-based funder.
