They encourage applications if:
• You are a charity or a good cause within 25 miles of a Moto service area.
• The project you are telling them about is in line with the objectives of the Moto in the Community Trust. The beneficiaries of the grant are UK based.
• Your project involves or affects Moto staff or their families.
