The Travers Foundation is a volunteer-run Charity that provides financial support to local 13 to 30-year-olds and helps them to realise their dreams in sport, music and arts. We help by nurturing the talent of local teams, groups, and individuals.
Our Three-Tier Structure for Funding
All Travers Foundation grants are now awarded within a three-tier structure that reflects achievement, development, and engagement:
• Level 1 (Entry Level) – Up to £750 for local or early-stage development.
• Level 2 (Intermediate Level) – Up to £1,500 for those competing or performing at regional or national levels.
• Level 3 (Elite Level) – funding for international or advanced recognition.
All awards to new Members will now start at Level 1.
Advancement to Level 2 or Level 3 requires both proof of achievement and active participation in our fundraising efforts, including support for Foundation events, campaigns, or online activities.
This approach ensures that every Member benefits from and contributes to the ongoing success of The Travers Foundation community.
