Key takeaways

  • Your work is most likely to fit if it concerns blood cancer clinical trials, stem-cell transplant research or paediatric transplant trials, which are the funder's stated themes.
  • No grant range is published, so the annual report is the best place to check what sizes of award have been made before you set an amount.
  • No application process is published, so start by contacting the charity through the contact it shows, and note that potential grants are reviewed case by case, depending on available resources.
  • The sources give no deadlines and say nothing about how competitive the funder is or whether relationships matter, so ask about timing when you make contact.
