  1. Applying for charity funding

Applying for charity funding

This section of the website is for Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust staff.

As our Trust's dedicated charity, Royal Surrey Charity helps fund extraordinary care for patients by providing state of the art equipment, renovating and redeveloping wards and departments, investing in staff wellbeing and development, and funding innovative research. 

All staff at Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust can apply for funding from Royal Surrey Charity for projects that enhance care for people living across South West Surrey and beyond. All requests for charitable funding must follow the charity’s approval process. This can vary depending on the amount requested and where the funds come from.

We understand that Trust staff are busy and that processes can often feel both complicated and time consuming. To support applicants we have developed a series of guidance and tools designed to take you through each step of the grant making process.

Next steps

You'll find everything you need to help you through the application process on these pages, including all the relevant forms and templates in the Resources and contacts section.

If you've not applied for funding before, or need a refresher, it's best to start with our introduction to grant funding.
