Berwick Upon Tweed Corporation (Freemen) Trustees
Key takeaways
- The trust's stated objects are for the benefit of freemen and widows of freemen of Berwick upon Tweed and for the benefit of the Corporation, so a group outside those beneficiaries is unlikely to fit its purpose, and the Berwick upon Tweed focus is the only area given.
- The annual report gives no usable grants figure and no grant range, so there is no evidence of a realistic request size, and a small nonprofit should ask the contact shown before shaping a request.
- No application process is published, so the first step is to get in touch through the contact listed, not to submit a standard form.
- The annual report does not cover timing, competition or whether giving depends on existing relationships.
