At a glance
Key takeaways
- Check your work against the foundation's stated areas: arts education for people at university or in higher education, support for young people affected by cancer, mental health medical advances, social inclusion for people who are homeless or socially excluded, and conservation.
- No grant range is published, so there is no typical request size to aim for, and the foundation's total giving in its latest annual report was £295,293, which suggests keeping any request modest.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown in its register entry and ask whether it takes approaches before you send a full proposal.
- The area is listed as the UK and the rest of the world, with Scotland as a priority, so say clearly how your work connects to that priority.
