There is no limit to the amount that you or your organisation can request. However, because of pressure on funds, the Chinese Poll Tax Heritage Trust is rarely able to provide funding to the level requested and is more likely to consider only a contribution towards a project.
This also means that, in general:
The Trust provides funding to individuals and not-for-profit organisations. Branches of not-for-profit organisations with a national body may also apply independently.
Applicants are not required to be Chinese or descendants of early settlers. The Trustees encourage members of the Chinese poll tax descendant community and members of the wider community to seek funding from the Trust for suitable projects.
