The Sir James Reckitt Charity is a place-based grantmaker focused on charities and community organizations in Kingston upon Hull and East Yorkshire, with a secondary interest in work connected to the Society of Friends (Quakers). It typically supports practical, capacity-building needs such as core costs, start-up costs, equipment, building improvements, training, and project development, and it also makes small emergency grants for urgent appeals. Its distinctive feature is a mix of local unrestricted support and flexible fast-track funding, with most awards in the low thousands rather than large institutional grants.
Small-to-midsize grants, typically around £1,000-£10,000, with emergency awards up to £2,000 available on a fast-track basis. Main grants are considered at trustee meetings in May and November, and applicants should apply at least one month in advance; some special centenary grants were one-off and invite/review based rather than open-ended.

Submit applications at least one month before the May or November trustee meetings for main grants. There is no open unsolicited process for special centenary funding, and emergency/small grants are handled ad hoc for urgent needs; applicants should clearly explain local benefit to Hull/East Yorkshire or Quaker connection and specify how funds will cover core, equipment, or time-sensitive costs.
