The Ashby Fund

Foundations Derbyshire
< Back to all Funds

The fund will support a broad cross-section of projects and a wide variety of groups. It hopes to improve the quality of life for Derbyshire residents and tackle inequalities and disadvantages faced in local communities.

Many applications taken forward to the Ashby Fund do not fit within the Foundation’s other grant-making streams due to geographical or thematic restrictions. Therefore the Ashby Fund is vital in plugging funding gaps in our county.

Type of Project costs funded

Priorities

There is a preference to support groups operating in rural areas or projects focusing on heritage and arts & culture.

Area

Derbyshire wide

Amount

The maximum grant is currently £2,500

Individual Bursaries

The Ashby family are currently reviewing priorities for their fund and future grant-making. It is possible that they will decide to concentrate solely on supporting community and voluntary groups rather than individuals. For this reason, we are putting a hold on individual applications to the fund until we can confirm the position – this page will be updated accordingly.

If you are looking for funding support as an individual you may be eligible to apply to the John Weston Fund, which is currently the only other fund at the Foundation to accept individual applications. Some restrictions apply.

Closing Dates

There are no fixed closing dates. The decision-making panel meet four times per year.
