Key takeaways

Jidcuk Charitable Trust fits best if your work is scientific research, research training or scientific publishing, especially where local scientists in low- and middle-income countries lead it or postgraduate students at institutions in developing countries are involved.
The Charity Commission register shows annual giving of £93,560, but no grant range is stated, so you will need to ask the trust what size of request it would consider before setting an amount.
No application process is published in its annual report or register entry, so the sensible first step is to get in touch using the contact it shows for that purpose.
Nothing published says how competitive its funding is or whether relationships matter, so treat that first contact as the way to learn it.
No exclusions are stated, so the published information does not rule out any group from applying.
