Key takeaways
- The Foundation names hardship relief, education and community development as its themes and says it funds partners whose programmes align with its charitable objects, so check that your work fits one of these areas first.
- A realistic request falls within the typical band of £10,000 to £410,000, and the median named grant in the annual report is about £32,000.
- The Foundation has no publicly published application process and describes finding partners often through existing networks and referrals, so an introduction or referral may help before you send a proposal.
- Any proposal should set out needs, proposed activities, outcomes, budget and risks, and expect checks on legal status, governance, safeguarding, finances and operational capacity.
- No deadlines or timing are given, so ask the Foundation directly when it considers proposals.
