The Cordon Charitable Trust

• The trust's recorded grants went to a museum organisation, a cricket participation charity, a film institute, a festival and a hospitality-sector charity, so a grant writer should check whether their work sits in one of those areas or a close equivalent.
• The annual report gives typical grants between £400 and £110,000, with a median grant of £100,000 across the five grants to organisations, so a small charity may find a request nearer the lower end of that band more realistic, though the band is not a ceiling.
• The trust's objects permit charitable purposes in any part of the world, and no exclusions or eligibility limits are given, so its stated focus should not rule an organisation out.
• No application process is published in the annual report or on the register entry, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown to ask whether it accepts approaches and what it needs.
• The source gives little indication of how competitive or relationship-led the trust is, so a short, specific enquiry before a full proposal is a low-cost way to find out.
