Key takeaways

This funder is unlikely to suit most small nonprofits.
Its annual report says it does not provide grants to any organisations other than an independent Sue Ryder organisation in Albania, so a charity should not apply unless it is that organisation.
The only grant recorded is £20,000 each quarter to that independent Sue Ryder organisation in Albania, and total giving was £80,000 in its latest reported year.
No application process is published in its annual report, register entry or website, and the only contact given is for getting in touch, so any first approach would be an enquiry rather than a bid.
Its own work is end-of-life care and bereavement support, and the material gives no sign that it funds similar work elsewhere.
