The James Tudor Foundation is a Bristol-based grant-making charity with a principal object of the relief of sickness. The Foundation operates without geographic limitation but solely through UK registered charities. UK registered charities that are working overseas and seeking funding for overseas work must demonstrate compliance with the Charity Commission guidance on such work and any legal requirements.
The Foundation’s charitable objectives are:
- The relief of sickness and the provision of financial assistance in any form to people suffering hardship or distress arising from age, ill health or infirmity of either themselves or any other person on whom they are dependent or who is dependent on them, or arising from the death of such persons, and
- The relief of sickness, poverty or the advancement of education, or any other charitable purpose.
The Foundation provides restricted grants to specific types of services. These are: - Health Education – in particular, the dissemination of knowledge about specific health conditions (conferences, dissemination of information, etc); and specialist training (upskilling of staff, etc).
- International (please note that the Trustees will be reviewing the funding priorities for this programme in the autumn of 2024) – support for international projects run by UK registered charities and deployed in developing countries.
- Palliative Care – adult and child hospices; salaries for teams working directly with patients (for example, nurses, doctors, and other healthcare practitioners); social care type assistance to help prepare for end of life, respite stays at the hospice; bereavement services for children who have been bereaved or for parents whose child has died, and
- Relief of Sickness – the Foundation’s principal object is the relief of sickness. Both mental and physical health projects are supported.
Grants are normally for between £1,000 and £50,000. New applicants are, however, unlikely to receive a grant for more than £10,000. The vast majority of awards made are Small Grants of less than £15,000.
