Key takeaways
- Your work fits if it sits in education, dyslexia, literacy, mental health or medical advances, and Brazil, the US and the UK are named as priorities within a worldwide focus.
- The Trust does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; the stated route is to approach individual Trustees, who propose grants for the Trustees to decide jointly.
- The Trust stresses mutual trust, partnership and collaboration, so the approach is relationship-led, and it helps to show how you would work with the Trust.
- No grant range is stated, so check the annual report or its website for what a realistic request size would be before you name a figure.
