Key takeaways

  • Its recorded grants have gone to independent living for disabled people, hospital organisations, a project on youth unemployment and humanitarian relief, so a small charity whose work sits in one of those areas is the clearest fit.
  • Typical grants fall between £1,000 and £19,000, with a median of £7,500, and about 8 in 10 of its 10 grants to organisations fall in that band, so a request of that size suits it best; its largest grant was about £30,000.
  • The annual report and register entry name Enfield, Barnet and Hertfordshire as priority areas and also list the UK and around the world, so the priority list should not be read as a limit on who may apply.
  • No application process is published in its annual report, register entry or website, so make contact first using the listed details and ask what it accepts before sending a full request.
