The
Hilden Charitable Fund was established in 1963 by Joan and Tony
Rampton. It is a grant making foundation registered with the UK Charity
Commission, Charity Registration Number: 232591. The Hilden Charitable
Fund awards grants to projects both in theUK
and in developing countries. The aim of the fund is to address
disadvantages, notably by supporting causes which are less likely to
raise funds from public subscriptions. Both the UK and overseas fund policy is directed largely at supporting work at community level.
You can find out more about the origins of The Hilden Charitable Fund and its structure in the About Us Section of the website and by viewing our Annual Report
For an interesting and humorous view of grant making take a look at the Cartoons by Cal Younger. Cal is one of Hilden's Trustees.
In the UK: Hilden’s grant making priorities are:
Homelessness, Penal Affairs, Asylum Seekers and Refugees, and Community
Based initiatives for Disadvantaged Young People Aged 16 to 25.
Hilden’s grant making priorities overseas
are for projects in developing countries working on community
development, education, and health. Trustees will particularly welcome
projects that address the needs and potential of girls and women.
Trustees will be pleased to hear from UK Non Governmental
Organisations/charities and hope that UK NGOs/charities will encourage their local partners to apply directly to Hilden for grant aid.
Average grants are £5,000. Hilden will consider funding for more than one year.
