Charitable request

Cowes Town Waterfront Trust supports a range of projects in Cowes and the wider community.

Charitable awards made by the Trust are offered at the Trust’s discretion based on how closely the request aligns with the Trust’s charitable objects.  The Trust cannot support all requests and the submission of an application does not guarantee funding.  Decisions on funding are usually made at the Trust’s regular board meetings and applicants will be informed shortly afterwards.

To be considered for funding, please complete this form in its entirety and provide any supporting documents.
