Belvedere Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The annual report states no geographic focus, and its named grants are mainly in Garsington and London, but that does not restrict who may apply.
- Its latest grant list includes an opera, a hospital ward project and several sports-named organisations, so a request should show how the work serves a charitable purpose and public benefit.
- A request near the typical grant size of £5,000 to £25,000 fits best: about 8 in 10 of its 14 named grants to organisations fall in that band, with a median of £10,000, though the largest was £130,000.
- Its website publishes no application process, so send a written application in good time before a quarterly trustees' meeting, knowing that grants follow research by the Charitable Grants Committee.
- The annual report does not say how many applications it receives or how competitive it is, and names no exclusions.
