The Foundation for the Promotion of Well-Being
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- The foundation's record covers grassroots conservation, emergency humanitarian aid and low-cost mental health support for people on low incomes, so work in those areas is the clearest fit.
- Its annual report shows typical grants between £2,000 and £50,000, against annual giving of £177,000, so a modest, specific request sits within what it has given.
- It accepts no unsolicited requests, so a cold written application is unlikely to be considered; the trustees research needs and invite organisations to apply, so the useful step is to make your work known to them rather than to send a formal bid.
- Its stated geographic focus is national, but that describes its giving and is not a rule about who may apply, and nothing in the annual report says when invitations are issued, so do not plan around a fixed timetable.
