Amant Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Amant Foundation's stated purposes are art, culture and heritage, education, health, people in need and artists' residencies, so a charity whose work falls outside these is unlikely to meet its parameters.
- It considers proposals from UK charities and from charities established outside the UK, and its stated geographic focus is the United Kingdom and the world.
- The typical grants reported in the annual report have been £4,000 to £560,000, with a median of £8,000, but the trustees aim for a small number of substantial gifts rather than many smaller projects, so a request should be framed as one substantial gift to the organisation.
- Applications are rolling, so there is no deadline to miss, but the charity publishes no address, email or phone number for sending one.
- Its stated aim of a small number of gifts suggests it is selective.
