What is the Gannett Foundation?
The Gannett Foundation is the charitable arm of the Gannett Co. Inc, owner of the Newsquest Media Group, publishers of newspapers and websites nationwide, including this one.
What is the Gannett Foundation Fund?
It supports those registered charities with projects which take a creative approach to fundamental issues such as neighbourhood improvements, local problem-solving, economic development, youth enterprise, sport and healthy living, assistance to disadvantaged or disabled people, care of the elderly, environmental conservation, and educational or cultural enrichment.

It entertains applications of any size or ambition. Typically grants are modest sums for practical projects, but it will consider awards to larger projects which deserve backing.
It is also able to join with other contributors to support elements of larger projects, though it prefers to be in a position of making a donation which will fund a project entirely or which constitutes the final instalment to complete a project. Decisions about funding will be made by the trustees based on the evidence submitted.
The foundation will favour projects that demonstrate good planning, oversight and financial responsibility.
