The Montgomery Charitable Foundation

Public benefits

The direct benefits which flow from the Montgomery Charitable Fund include increased grant funding for the charitable and community sector to support work that relieves hardship for those living in extreme poverty or at disadvantage including directly supporting projects that; aid educational and employment outcomes, address food poverty, support

those with disabilities and ill health and support those experiencing difficult life circumstances. The benefits will be demonstrated through annual impact reports with each grantee organisation/referred individuals. Grantees will demonstrate the benefit of funding received through monitoring and reporting processes, project visits and a post grant interview. All projects must evidence their direct benefit in relieving poverty, hardship or disadvantage. The purposes of the charity will not lead to harm. All grantees will be vetted and monitored to ensure that projects remain at benefit for the public and free from harm. The charities beneficiaries are VSCE organisations and individuals in need by reason of youth, age, ill health, financial hardship or other disadvantage. The charity trustees are responsible for setting specific grant application themes from these outlined beneficiaries based on a needs assessment of geographical areas, societal issues and economic circumstances. For example: a grant fund for projects improving the lives of children in super output areas of deprivation. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is individual funding for those under the poverty exception. This is incidental as it is crucial to the charities purpose to support those in need and facing extreme hardship. The benefit is controlled by accepting only referred applications from responsible members of the public (e.g. social workers, teachers, doctors) who have an established relationship with the beneficiary.
