The James Tudor Foundation was established to provide relief of human sickness. They provide grants to charities whose primary focus is health-related, as well as charities who are running health-related programmes.
Grants are offered under the following categories:
- Physical Health
- Mental Health
- Hospice Care
- International
The foundation operates a two-stage application process for the Physical Health and Mental Health programmes: an Expression of Interest (open to all eligible organisations) followed by a Full Application (on invitation only). The Hospice Care programme is only open to hospices based in South West England and South Wales and is a single stage process.
In order to be eligible for a grant, applicants must be registered charities that have been registered with the charity commission for a minimum of five years, and have an annual income of less than £20 million.
The Foundation generally offers one-year grants for costs related to service delivery, including staff costs. They prioritise costs related to the enhancement of services, but will also consider ongoing costs. They do not fund capital costs, student bursaries, or direct replacement of statutory funding.
More information and detailed guidance for individual programmes is offered in the Guidelines document which can be found on their website.
