The League of Friends of the Kidderminster Hospitals
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 League makes grants by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send a cold application and should approach it only if it has been invited to.
- Its grants are hospital appropriations to the Kidderminster Hospitals for medical equipment and services, so work fits best if it serves patients or former patients of those hospitals or the hospitals themselves.
- Priority is given to Wyre Forest and Kidderminster.
- Typical grants reported in the annual report fall between £95 and £125,000, with a median of about £7,900, so a modest, specific request sits well within its usual giving.
- Trustees review requests against the charity's aims, so make the link to those aims explicit.
