Gannett Foundation

The Gannett Foundation is inviting applications from registered charities to support projects that benefit the local community. This includes schemes for:

• Neighbourhood improvement and local problem-solving.
• Youth development.
• Education and cultural enrichment.
• Care of the elderly or infirm.
• Help for the disadvantaged or disabled.
• Environmental conservation.

Each year the Foundation picks a special theme to attract relevant applications.

Typically, grants are made for substantial projects which require and merit awards of between £5,000 and £10,000. Applications must be submitted through the local Newsquest Media Group papers which can be found on the newsquest website.
