Lady Garden Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated themes are gynaecological cancer research and cancer treatment support, so a small charity fits best if its work is in awareness, education or research-related support for these cancers.
- The Charity Commission register shows £371,645 in grants to institutions in its latest year with grants, but nothing in the most recent year, and no typical or largest grant is stated, so size any request to a specific project rather than to a published band.
- No application process is published, but the foundation says its Scientific Committee reviews grant proposals and decides who receives funding, so a clear written proposal addressed to that committee is the route that the published information supports.
- The register describes its area of operation as throughout England and Wales, but no geographic focus is stated, and no exclusions are published; a group whose work lies outside gynaecological cancers would find little in these themes to match.
