About Organisation
The J. N. Derbyshire Trust is a UK charitable trust established in 1944 by Job Nightingale Derbyshire. The Trust provides charitable donations to organisations working for the benefit of people in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Its objectives include promoting health, supporting physical improvement, advancing education, and relieving poverty, distress and sickness. The Trust primarily supports community and voluntary organisations through project funding. It operates as a grant-making charity and reviews applications through two annual grant rounds. The Trust prioritises organisations delivering meaningful benefits within Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
About the Grant
The J. N. Derbyshire Trust Grants support community and voluntary organisations undertaking projects in Nottinghamshire. Funding can be used for projects addressing four key areas: promotion of health, development of physical improvement, advancement of education, and relief of poverty, distress and sickness. These UK community grants are intended to help organisations deliver practical benefits to local communities. Grant awards vary according to the project and the Trust’s assessment. Most grants fall within the range of £350 to £10,000. Applications are considered during two annual review rounds.
Who can Apply?
The grant is open to registered charities and not-for-profit companies, including Community Interest Companies (CICs) and companies limited by guarantee, provided they benefit people in Nottingham or Nottinghamshire. Applicants must have at least two years of filed accounts, including income and expenditure and a balance sheet. Individuals cannot apply. Nationally operated charities with reported income above £1 million are not considered. Regional or national organisations must demonstrate their delivery and impact specifically within Nottinghamshire. These Nottinghamshire grants are therefore focused on established nonprofit organisations serving local communities.
How to Apply?
Eligible organisations should complete the J. N. Derbyshire Trust’s online application process through the designated Nottinghamshire Community Foundation platform. Applicants must first register and confirm that they meet the fund’s eligibility requirements. Organisations should prepare their project information and provide their most recent two years of filed accounts as required. Applications must be submitted before the relevant annual deadline. The Trust considers applications during its March and October review meetings.
Application Deadline
The next listed deadline is 31 January 2027.
