The Staples Trust
Trustees initiate most of the proposals to be considered and tend not to encourage unsolicited approaches. They make grants under the following headings:
Gender issues – domestic violence, women’s rights and gender studies
Overseas development - projects which empower women, support the rights of indigenous people, improve shelter and housing, generate income in disadvantaged communities, and encourage sustainable agriculture
Environment – projects in the UK which focus on renewable energy and rural conservation, and projects in Central & Eastern Europe, which focus on training community and business leaders, and sharing skills and information.
The Frankopan fund – small grants to
exceptionally talented students from Croatia to further their studies.
