The Dunhill Medical Trust funds the care of older people, including rehabilitation and palliative care; and research into the causes and treatments of disease, disability and frailty related to ageing.
Its General Grants programme is divided into four areas:

•  building grants
•  equipment grants
•  core costs/staffing grants
•  small grants for less than £10k.

A key aim is that the Trust's funding should encourage and support innovative applications. As a rule to qualify for consideration, grant applications MUST be for an activity with a focus on older people. Although there is no lower limit for a grant, in practice no awards are for less than £1,000.

Grants are normally awarded for a maximum of three years, but special rules apply to small grants under £10k .
