At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- The trust's stated aim is to benefit the general public anywhere in the world, so work in any location can fit its objects, though the trustees decide case by case which work to support.
- It accepts applications by invitation only, so a cold, unsolicited request is unlikely to be considered, and a relationship or introduction is likely to matter more than a formal application.
- The annual report shows £780,286 paid out in grants, but no grant range or typical grant size is stated, so there is no stated basis for choosing a particular amount.
- The trustees say they intend to make more grants as the trust establishes itself, which may suit a patient approach, but no timing is given.
- Organisations that would send an unsolicited application should not do so, since the trust does not accept them.
