Overview
Newport Pagnell is the whole of the Harry Middleton Gift's remit. Its registered object is the general benefit of the town's inhabitants, and its own guidance says it will only help where the benefit will be almost entirely for residents of Newport Pagnell. It prioritises applications for items of a capital nature. It is unable to make grants to individuals, to other charitable organisations set up to raise and distribute funds, or for items that would normally be the responsibility of local councils financed from taxes. Apply before you buy: applications should be made prior to purchase or payment for works, supported by proper estimates where applicable and accompanied by the latest set of accounts of the applying organisation.
