Grants to Organisations
ESM Trust makes grants to organisations that are involved in supporting and/or training people in or into employment.
Because of the wide diversity of organisations and needs there is no set grant form, therefore please submit an application with as much information about your organisation and your needs as possible.
The Trust may ask you to do a personal presentation to trustees at one of our monthly meetings.
