Little Bears Pre-School in St Leonards are now safe and secure behind a strong fence around their play ground after a £2845 grant.
Transfer Trusts
Buckinghamshire Community Foundation works with other charitable trusts in the county. We are keen to support Trustees and administrators in fulfilling their role.
Occasionally, trusts decide that it is the right time to close because
- The original charitable objectives have been fulfilled
- Administration has become too time consuming
- Trustees wish to retire
When this happens, we can assume management of long established charitable trusts that benefit Buckinghamshire.
Our service
We manage existing charitable Trusts by recreating them as Funds within Buckinghamshire Community Foundation. We:
- Set up a Named Fund, usually with the same name as the former Charitable Trust
- Amend or retain the charitable objects of the Trust for grant making
- Involve one or more former Trustees as advisors to the new Fund
The public face of the Trust carries on as before but without the additional work caused by separate investment, administration and reporting.
