The Champniss Charitable Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated purpose is the advancement of education among pupils through scholarships, yet the annual report records donations to 17 charitable organisations in varied fields, from animal and wildlife to homelessness and former service personnel, so a request should show clearly how it connects to education.
- Typical grants have been £500 to £1,000, with a median of £1,000, so a request in that range suits its recorded giving, though that describes typical grants rather than a limit.
- Its geographic focus is national, and no exclusions or eligibility rules are recorded, so no group should be ruled out on this evidence.
- No application process is published, so a short written enquiry is the only route the record points to, and no deadlines, timetable or sign of how competitive it is are recorded.
