SPUC Education and Research Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Trust makes grants only to organisations whose ethos is comparable with its pro-life principles and which are able and willing to present that message to others, so a request should be framed around that fit.
- Its annual giving is £108,291, but no grant range is stated, so ask the Trust what size of request it would consider rather than assuming one.
- Applications are received from organisations and individuals familiar with the Trust and its work, and the full board reviews each one case by case, so it is worth making contact and learning about the Trust before you apply.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but grantees must report on how they used the funds and what results they achieved, so plan for that reporting from the start.
- The annual report shows grants mainly in Scotland, but no geographic focus is stated, so do not assume that excludes you.
