We are passionate about the health and wellness of people in our region. Non-profit organisations within Marlborough are welcome to apply to the Trust for funding to assist with projects which fall within the ‘approved purposes’ listed below.
How to Apply for a Community Donation
Please complete the community donation request form. You will be able to save this to your own computer and submit it either via email or post once completed. It is important that all supporting information requested is enclosed with your request form. Failure to do so may result in your application being returned.
Approved purposes include
- The support of community based programmes which promote health initiatives and prevention programmes
- The support of local charities which promote the health and welfare of the people of Marlborough

Eligibility
- Any amateur sports club which is open to the general public and which is affiliated to a recognised or national body.

Please note:
- Any approved donation cannot be used to cover costs which have been paid for before the donation is approved at our board meeting.
- Any approved donation must be used for the specific purpose it was requested.
- Any approval is a one-off donation and does not tie the Trust in to an ongoing commitment with the successful applicant.
