The John King Brain Tumour Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated focus is brain tumour care, neurosurgical equipment, medical research and hospital gardens, and it says it works alongside neurosurgical teams, so a project in one of those areas that is tied to a clinical team fits its description.
- Its stated priority is London, so a charity working elsewhere should check with the foundation before applying.
- No application process is published, so start with the contact given on its website, and ask about grant sizes before naming an amount, since neither its annual report nor the register states a grant range.
- Its annual report shows £467,416 paid out but does not say how many grants that covers, so a modest, clearly costed request is a sensible place to begin.
- No exclusions or eligibility limits are stated, so the information available does not rule out any type of group.
