Over the last 15 years we have made grants to charities and non-profit making organisations. Each year, we hope to make grants totalling between £500,000 and £1.5m. We also consider applications for any amount, up to about £250,000.

Established as a charity in 1920, The Evelyn Trust owned and managed the Evelyn Hospital in Cambridge. In 2003 the hospital was sold and the funds invested. From these funds we make grants to support medical research and health and wellbeing projects in Cambridgeshire. We aim to support a broad range of projects. The Trust is increasingly interested in medical research and health and wellbeing projects that deliver transformational change, especially pilot or demonstration projects.

Grants are ‘one-off’ for a particular project and are available to non-profit making organisations, not individuals. We seek projects for which funding from The Evelyn Trust is significant in the context of the project and makes the difference to the project’s success. Funding can be for capital and people costs relating to frontline work.
