Capital Grants
Capital grants are awarded once every five years to organisations where such an amount will make a significant difference.
Every five years the Norton Foundation invests a substantial amount into an organisation developing a capital project. Examples of such grants are:
2000 Norton Youth Room at the Sydenham Community Centre, Royal Leamington Spa, WARWICKSHIRE. £100,000.
2005 Norton Residential and Training Centre at Rough Close Scout Camping Grounds, COVENTRY. £60,000.

Following the public announcement of a Capital Grant, organisations are asked to submit an application which goes through a selection process until the trustees decide which is most deserving.
It is a requirement that the name of the Norton Foundation is recognised in the title of the new facility.
