Overview
Radley Charitable Trust funds work on the advancement of human rights, conflict resolution, reconciliation, and the promotion of religious or racial harmony or equality and diversity. Its grant-making policy says applications with strong Quaker connections will be given higher priority. It gives up to £3,000 per year for up to three years. Applications should be made by organisations rather than individuals, although trustees may consider grants to individuals doing specific work on behalf of charities or organisations that meet the trust's objectives. It will not fund medical research, education, postgraduate study, or purposes for which the government has a statutory responsibility to provide. All partnership grants are monitored, with reports given annually at least, and in person where possible.
What they fund
These categories come from the Charity Commission register. The trust's own policy is more specific: human rights, conflict resolution, reconciliation, and religious or racial harmony and equality.
Who and where
The two sources differ. The register places the trust in the East of England and in Cambridgeshire, while its own policy says applications can come for work being done anywhere in the world, including activities based within the UK.
