Key takeaways

  • Typical grants reported in the annual report fall between £150,000 and £1,000,000, with a median of £250,000, so a request well below that range is unlikely to match its usual pattern.
  • Education is the only theme listed and the foundation has supported UK educational institutions, so a project outside education would likely be a weak fit, although the UK is its stated priority.
  • No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown to ask whether your work fits before sending a full request.
  • Named grants account for only part of its giving, as £2,533,641 was given in grants the annual report does not itemise.
