Cunningham Foundation

• The foundation's objects allow it to support exclusively charitable purposes anywhere in the world, so a charity with a clear charitable purpose can reasonably ask, though the trustees decide at their discretion and no particular field is named.
• The annual report gives no grant range, and annual giving was £300,000 in the year to 14 October, so a modest, clearly costed request is the safer starting point.
• No application process is published, so begin with a short enquiry through the contact shown on the register entry before sending a full application.
• The one grant the report lists is to a primary school with no purpose given, so do not read it as evidence of a schools programme.
• The report does not say how competitive the foundation is or when it considers requests, so ask about both in your enquiry.
