Find an SpF to fund an idea you have had
We have just under 200 Special Purpose Funds (SPFs) held at St George’s Hospital Charity which exist to support a host of needs. Most areas in the Trust are covered by at least one SPF, and some more than one, to support staff and patient welfare, whilst other funds exist to pursue vital research in designated fields of medicine. Staff employed by the Trust or the University are eligible to apply for SPF funding as long as the fund in question fits and Fund Advisers endorse the request.
Every SPF is managed by at least two Fund Advisers who work within the Trust and/or University. They are responsible for ensuring that money is spent in line with the Fund objectives.
You may already be aware of one or more SPFs available to you / your team / department / ward, in which case you can find the application process and forms you need here. If there aren’t enough funds in the SPF, do still get in touch as we may have other funding options.
