| Geography | UK charities; worldwide projects |
| Funding | No universal maximum published |

Who should consider this opportunity?
UK charities should assess their fit against the trust’s published purposes and exclusions. An overseas community partner does not automatically qualify as the direct applicant.
Application route and important conditions
The application form is submitted by post, not email. Trustee meetings normally take place in April and October, but a meeting month is not a guaranteed application deadline. Confirm the next review timetable before relying on it.
Read the official programme page and application instructions.
Africads preparation guidance
The following is practical editorial guidance, not additional donor eligibility criteria.
A capital or equipment request should explain the service it will enable. Describe the current constraint, the proposed improvement and the people who will benefit. Include the practical arrangements for ownership, procurement and maintenance. An asset that cannot be staffed, powered or repaired may create a new liability instead of a lasting benefit.
Where a UK charity works with an overseas partner, show how the relationship operates. Clarify who selected the project, who will manage delivery locally and how financial information will be checked. The application should make accountability visible without treating the local partner as a passive recipient.
Plan around postal submission and trustee review. Allow time for signatures, supporting documents and delivery, and keep a complete copy of the final pack. Do not start a time-critical project on the assumption that an award will arrive by a particular meeting. If other funding is required, state its status clearly and explain how the project can proceed if only part of the request is supported.
Five frequently asked questions
Can I email the application?
The published instructions require postal submission. Use the address and form on the current official page.
Does meeting the criteria guarantee support?
No. Eligibility is an initial screen; the funder still assesses fit, quality and available resources.
What should our team prepare first?
Confirm the applicant route, identify a responsible lead and assemble evidence for the proposed work before polishing the narrative.
Should we use a generic proposal template?
Use the donor’s current form and instructions. An internal template can organise your thinking, but it should not replace required questions or formats.
Where do we submit or request further guidance?
Start from the official programme page linked below. Africads publishes opportunity information and does not receive applications on the donor’s behalf.
Conclusion
Use the eligibility and application route above to decide whether Jephcott Charitable Trust belongs in your funding pipeline. Assign a named owner to the next step and resolve any missing requirements before committing substantial proposal time.
For an initial fit, evidence or budget check, explore the free Africads Grant Funding Toolkit. These resources support preparation; the donor’s current instructions and decision remain authoritative.
