Key takeaways

  • The foundation's work fits best if you run a charity or organisation with a material effect within Hampshire, particularly in education or for children and young people with special needs, and it should not be approached by organisations without that effect in Hampshire.
  • The annual report records a donation of £285,000 to KES and other grants totalling £16,190 for children and young people, but no typical grant band or grant range is stated, so a modest request is hard to size with confidence.
  • The foundation prefers applications by email, yet it publishes no address, email or phone number, so you will need to find a route before you write.
  • Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no deadline to plan around, and the sources do not say how competitive the foundation is.
