Key takeaways

Your work fits if it advances knowledge of developmental medicine and paediatric neurology in ways that improve the lives of disabled children, and the funder's support is aimed at activities directly relevant to its own work.
No grant size or range is stated, so no typical request can be named, and a sensible first step is to ask the contact shown on its website what level of support might suit your activity.
No application process is published in its annual report, register entry or website, and its support is described as selective, so this looks relationship-led rather than an open call, and a short enquiry before a full proposal is the safer route.
No exclusions or eligibility limits are stated, so there is no reason in the published information for any organisation to hold back from making contact.
