40TUDE Curing Colon Cancer
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- 40TUDE does not accept unsolicited requests, so the first step is to make contact rather than send a cold application, since its trustees choose the organisations and programmes they fund.
- It funds specialist work in colon cancer and gastrointestinal disease, and it excludes organisations outside the United Kingdom and programmes that are not within the treatment of colon cancer and gastrointestinal disease.
- No grant range is stated, so do not assume a size: the £195,000 in annual giving, per the annual report, is the charity's total, not a grant amount.
- Because the trustees interview programme leaders and agree with them how a grant will be applied, expect a relationship-led process, and note that no deadlines are stated.
