The Cranbrook Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Foundation's stated fields are poverty relief and financial hardship, public education, sickness and public health, arts, culture and science, and animal welfare, so check that your work fits one of them before you write.
- Its annual report lists 8 grants to organisations, with a median of about £10,000 and typical grants between £2,000 and £120,000, so a request near that median is a sensible starting point.
- Its stated geographic focus is the United Kingdom and the world.
- No application process is published in its annual report or register entry, so the practical first step is to get in touch through the contact shown and set out your work and the amount you need.
- Trustees review finances and grant spending at each meeting before awarding new grants, so the timing of any decision is unclear, and larger grants require you to agree terms set by the trustees.
