Newman’s Own Foundation, the organisation created by the late actor and philanthropist Paul Newman, is to make grants totalling $250,000 (£163,800) to registered UK charities that support children with life-limiting conditions.
Grants of up to $50,000 (£32,750) each will be made to registered UK charities which provide support for children with life-limiting medical or developmental conditions. Charities meeting the funding requirements are invited to submit their requests before the application process closes on 1 August 2013.
Newman’s Own Foundation has made grants of over $3.5 million in the UK since 1995. About a quarter of this has helped children with serious medical and developmental challenges.

Robert Forrester, president of Newman’s Own Foundation, said: "Supporting children with life-limiting conditions is a key focus area for Newman’s Own Foundation because it is one of the areas that Paul Newman cherished, and one with opportunities for the Foundation to make a significant impact".
After 1 August, selected organisations will be contacted to receive a full application for funding from Newman’s Own Foundation.
