Its priority areas are London, Manchester and Kingston, and the annual report and website publish no application process, so a short email through the contact shown on its website is the route to try.
No grant figures or typical grant sizes are published, so avoid guessing at an amount and ask what it might consider before framing a request.
The funder says it seeks to work with like-minded organisations that share its vision and values, so a partnership-based approach is more likely to suit it than a cold request.
