Butterfield has launched the Butterfield Charitable Trust, aiming to provide funding to charities and non-profit organisations across the Channel Islands.
Butterfield says the Trust will focus on projects that significantly benefit people in both islands, with priority given to those focused on environmental protection, community support, and promoting inclusivity.
Charities, non-profits and third sector organisations can apply for funding through two programmes; the Major Grant programme (for £10,000 or more, including multi-year grants), and the Small Grant programme (for £10,000 or less).
Richard Saunders, Butterfield’s Managing Director, Channel Islands & UK, said: “Supporting the long-term well-being of our local communities is something we are committed to doing. The Butterfield Charitable Trust– Channel Islands is aligned to our overall sustainability framework, and is a fantastic opportunity for those working to enrich the lives of people in our community to get the funding they need to continue their efforts and leave a lasting impact. We encourage anyone who is eligible to apply before the deadline.”
That deadline for applications is 25 April.
All applications will be reviewed by the Butterfield Charitable Trust’s Channel Islands Committee, and assessed according to key criteria, including the ability to measure outcomes and impact, to ensure a fair process.
Applicants will be notified of the committee’s decision via email by 15 May.
