Key takeaways

  • Its stated themes are education, culture, religion and health-related projects, and a suggested recipient must support education, culture or religion, so check that your work fits one of these before you make contact.
  • It does not fund charities that do not support education, culture or religion, so organisations outside those areas should not apply.
  • Its stated priority is the United Kingdom and the United States, and its reported work includes educational and health-related projects in both countries and the developing world.
  • No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown to ask how it considers requests.
  • No typical grant size is stated, so do not assume a figure; the board also keeps discretion over whether a suggested grant falls within charitable activities under US and UK law.
