Key takeaways

  • If your work is youth development through Scouting or Guiding, or training for scout and guide instructors, it fits this funder's stated themes closely, and the annual report describes its grants as small, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one, though no grant range is stated.
  • No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown for getting in touch and ask whether a request would be considered before you write a full application.
  • The annual report gives no timing for decisions, so ask about this when you make contact.
  • Nothing published says how many organisations apply or whether giving runs through existing relationships, so do not assume either.
  • The countries listed under Geographic focus are its stated priorities, and no exclusions or eligibility rules are stated, so no organisation should be ruled out on the information available.
