governance

Having been formed in 2020, the charity is regulated by the UK Charity Commission. Gresham Benevolent Fund is run by a Board of Trustees who meet regularly to manage the finances, promote fundraising and consider the allocation of grants. 

Although much of our support is generously derived from the Members of The Gresham Club, we are independent of The Gresham Club and have an entirely separate governance structure.

Apply for Support

To apply for a grant, support or assistance, please contact the Trustees for a copy of our application form. All applications are carefully evaluated by the Trustees. 

Naturally there are some selection criteria that we use to assess applications to ensure that they fall within our charitable purposes. Please note that we only donate direct to beneficiaries and we do not donate to, or via, other charities.
