Key takeaways

This funder does not accept unsolicited requests and selects its recipients by invitation only, so a cold application is not the route in.
Its stated priority is international, so a group whose work is mainly international may fit best, while other groups should not assume it fits.
The money is divided into shares of £2,112 or £1,056, so plan for a request in that range rather than a larger sum.
Selection is made by a small working group on a three-year cycle, and no open round is described, so the timing and the way in are unclear and worth asking about directly.
