The Nick Kilhams Foundation
Key takeaways
- The foundation's grants go to professional service providers whose work benefits practitioners in the Lloyd's / London market, so it is worth approaching only if your work is mental health, suicide prevention or suicide bereavement support delivered by a professional service provider for that market.
- Organisations outside the London (re)insurance market, outside England, or that are not professional service providers should not apply, because the foundation says it does not fund them.
- Neither the annual report nor its website publishes an application process, and no grant amount is stated, so the contact given for getting in touch is the only route; a short approach asking whether your work fits is the sensible first step.
- The foundation says its trustees review partner charities regularly and aim to offer support over a defined period while keeping dialogue going, which suggests a relationship-led approach rather than an open call, though neither the annual report nor its website says how competitive it is or when it considers requests.
