Support us

The demand for grants from the NMCT has grown enormously, but in 2010 the Trustees were only able to award grants of £67,000 so in that year they decided to launch a fundraising campaign.

Thanks to the support of many generous trusts and foundations our campaign has so far raised over £900,000 since 2011, all of which has been invested in additional grants. 

Thanks to the generosity of these many funders NMCT has been able to award grants totalling £150,000 - £170,000 in recent years. T

These are significant sums but demand for our grants still far outstrips our ability to award them - particularly as the insitutions we support suffer yet further budget cuts.

The NMCT Trustees are acutely conscious of the need to do more and are redoubling their fundraising efforts.  We would very much like to hear from you if you would like to support our work either by donating funds or by working collaboratively with us.
