Overview

Their aim in all cases is to provide appropriate resources to smaller charities so that the people they are supporting may flourish.

Didymus supports work in the United Kingdom, Africa, Central and South America which fulfils one of their five goals:

Encouraging social inclusion
Advancing education
Developing the arts
Advancing equality and diversity by creating opportunities for women
Promoting religious understanding.

They are particularly committed to supporting those who are have been disadvantaged for whatever reason, and they do this through funding initiatives which build hope and enrichment of life.

Through their grant-making programme, they aim to support smaller charities where their grants can make the most difference. They do this by enabling charities to run projects which they could not otherwise undertake which will help to transform the lives of those they support. They also provide resources for existing projects of smaller charities in the areas outlined above to ensure their long-term viability. They review their grant-making priorities each year in the light of current needs.

Principles

Applications from UK-registered charities working in the UK, Africa, Central and South America are eligible for consideration and all applications will be considered on merit alone.
All applications from previous recipients of grants or from previously unsuccessful applicants will be considered by the Trustees on their own merits. Although the Trustees will have regard to the outcome of the previous grant, any new application will in no way receive preferential or adverse consideration.
The Charity will work in partnership with other organisations where appropriate to fund initiatives beyond the financial scope of a single organisation. Trustees reserve the right to request information on other donors.

The Trustees strongly encourage applicants whose work falls outside the London area.

All applications from previous recipients of grants or from previously unsuccessful applicants will be considered by the Trustees on their own merits, though unsuccessful applicants are urged to check the funding criteria.

The Charity will not normally consider applications in excess of £5,000.
