Manchester District Nursing Institution Fund

Grants for people in medical need
Grants may be made for the relief of people living in the three metropolitan boroughs of Manchester, Salford or Trafford who are on low income and are sick, convalescent or disabled, which are calculated to alleviate their suffering or assist in their recovery.

No grant may be made directly to relieve rates, taxes or other public funds. The Trustees meet to review applications every month.

Please check the following criteria. If your client(s) or project(s) meet any of these criteria then please continue reading the guidelines:

• Trustees are flexible in what they award a grant for. The need must be specific and help to alleviate the beneficiaries’ suffering, but must provide a medical relief of some kind.
• You can apply for a grant up to £500. In some cases we will consider requests above £500 if the trustees deem it to be a special circumstance, OR if match funding has been secured elsewhere.
