Key takeaways

The annual report shows £32,680 given in the year to 31 October, and about 8 in 10 of its 57 grants to organisations fall between £250 and £750, with a median of £250, so a modest request fits this funder best.
Its grants have mainly gone to Aylsham, Norfolk and North Walsham, so a group based there has the closest match to past giving, though no geographic focus is stated.
Requests are accepted on a rolling basis and must include appropriate documentation, and any distribution needs agreement from the Executive Panel.
Distributions normally take place at a Presentation Evening in January before the AGM, so a request sent well before that is more likely to be considered in time.
