Michael Davies Charitable Settlement
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The settlement's stated object is general charitable activity, but it does not publish particular cause areas, so a grant writer should check first whether their work fits its broad remit.
- Only registered charities can apply, so an organisation that is not one should not approach it.
- The annual report shows £140,000 paid out, but no grant range is stated, so ask the contact shown before setting the size of a request.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is a short email to that contact, and trustees decide donations collectively and at regular meetings, so any approach should allow time for their decision.
