Christopher Moyes Memorial Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's published focus is postgraduate research at Durham University's Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience, and its aims cover relief of hardship and education, so a request is most likely to fit if it falls within one of those areas.
- Its stated priority is County Durham, which is the only geographic focus given.
- No grant range is given, so the size of a suitable request is not stated, and the annual report shows £45,324 paid out, excluding £19,634 given to individuals.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but for postgraduate research scholarships, contact IHHR first, and note that trustees weigh requests against the foundation's aims and the funds available.
