Unsolicited applications are not accepted

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

  • Its grants have mainly gone to overseas aid, so a small nonprofit whose work sits outside that field is unlikely to fit.
  • The trust does not accept unsolicited requests: its trustees pick institutions themselves, often after a disaster or on a request from the institution's parent body, so a cold application is unlikely to get anywhere.
  • The annual report gives no usable grants figure and no grant range, so you cannot judge a typical request size from the trust's own numbers, and it is worth asking the trust directly before naming an amount.
  • The sources say nothing about deadlines or timing, and grants follow collections and specific needs rather than a set round.
  • An organisation with no link to overseas aid, to the faith's purposes, or to its parent body has little reason to expect a grant.
