Irish trust reveals new guidelines
Howard Lake | 28 March 2007 | News
St Stephen’s Green Trust has announced new guidelines. The Trust was set up in Ireland in 1992 by a Dutch philanthropic family, which operates worldwide. Since 2003, it has had 3 further sources of funding, all religious orders, which sold property, some of the proceeds being gifted to the Trust to assist it in its mission.
From April this year the trust will support Disability (autistic spectrum disorder and hearing impairment only), Development and Integration (older people in isolation, new communities and travellers), Breaking the Link (homelessness, offenders and christian values and social changes). The Trust operates on a 32-county basis.
Grants will range from ‚€1,000 to a maximum ‚€12,000. The average grant in 2006 was ‚€6,500. The trust will accept applications from voluntary or community organisations, with a CHY or XR number. If the number is pending or if there is no charitable status, the Trust will require copies of the instrument under which the organisation is set up, such as Constitution or Memo and Articles of Association. The trust cannot consider applications for building costs; general appeals; retrospective funding and individuals.
