Cornell University Foundation (UK)
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Cornell University Foundation (UK) directs its giving to one university, which its annual report names as its main beneficiary, so a small nonprofit with no link to that institution is unlikely to match its reported activity.
- Its registered objects also allow other charitable purposes set by trustees, but neither the annual report nor the register entry names other grantees or a stated focus to point to.
- The annual report shows £405,281 awarded in total, of which £338,377 went to Yale University, and no typical or largest grant size is stated.
- No application route was published, so any enquiry would be a speculative approach, and a grant writer should first check that the work relates to learning and education at a university.
