Ashley Family Foundation

Where we focus our support.

The trustees look to fund projects that are true to these values. Our focus is on supporting five main themes:

• Wales
• Rural –
• Arts
• Community
• Small Charities

Although we have no set limit to the amount that can be awarded, we do favour requests that are below £10,000. Funding is awarded on the context of the project and we know that smaller awards of £500 can make a big difference to some recipients.

Our policy is to favour revenue proposals over capital requests. Funding is generally awarded to one off projects. We will however consider funding over a number of years (up to three) if the project requires it – subject to satisfactory monitoring and review.
