Emerton-Christie Charity
A very small number of one-off grants are available for registered charities in the UK undertaking projects in the areas of health, supporting those who are disadvantaged, or the arts.
The Emerton-Christie Charity and its predecessors have been operating since the 1970s. The charity was originally two separate will trusts established by Mrs Cecil Christie, the Mrs C. M. S. Christie Will Trust, and the sisters Maud and Vera Emerton, the Emerton Charitable Trust.
The Emerton-Christie Charity, a very small grant-making trust, provides a small amount of money each year to charities based and working within the UK.
While the trustees may select beneficiaries at their discretion, they tend to focus on the following:
- Education and training.
- The advancement of health or saving of lives.
- Disability
- Arts, culture, heritage, environment, conservation and science.
There is no standard application form.
Groups should send an email to the EC Charity, setting out who they are, what they do, and the funding for which they are applying.
Applications can be made at any time. However, as the trustees meet annually, generally in the Autumn, the appeals should be submitted ideally by the end of August.
