GeneSys Legacy Project
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- Health and mental health is the funder's stated theme, and it describes support for community charities working in that area, so a project of that kind fits.
- It does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; the route in is through GeneSys Biotech staff, who suggest charities, so a relationship with them matters more than a written submission.
- Its annual report gives annual giving of £700,000 spread across a number of charities, but no grant range is stated, so do not assume a set amount and ask for what your work needs, knowing that trustees decide each donation.
- The trustees meet quarterly to choose which charities to support, so allow time between a suggestion and a decision.
- Organisations that are not registered charities fall outside what it describes, since it supports registered charities through unrestricted donations.
