Key takeaways

  • The Trust makes one-off donations from investment income, and its trustees decide them at their discretion, so a request for a single, clearly defined sum for a specific purpose suits it better than a request for ongoing core funding.
  • Its stated focus is religious activities, education and training, medical and health services, and overseas aid and famine relief, and its stated priority is national and overseas.
  • No grant range is stated, so the annual report's annual giving of £426,000 is the only scale marker, and a modest, clearly costed request is a sensible place to start.
  • It accepts applications on a rolling basis by email, so there is no deadline to plan around.
  • Nothing available says how competitive it is or whether relationships matter, so do not assume either.
