Invitation only

Unsolicited applications are not accepted

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

The trust takes applications by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send a cold application and should first look for a way to be introduced.
Its stated priorities are India and the UK, and its purposes are relieving poverty and sickness, advancing education, and helping people in hardship, so a project should clearly match one of these purposes in one of these places.
Neither the annual report nor the register gives a usable grants figure or grant range, so there is no evidence on which to base a request size, and it is best to ask the trust about size if you are invited to apply.
Its giving is directed particularly to charitable hospitals and other institutions its trustees choose, and its donations to a hospital and institute of medical sciences are made ad hoc, which points to a relationship-led process rather than an open round with set dates.
