The Present Value Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The grants recorded in the annual report went to organisations working in environmental and nature conservation, literacy, museums, theatre, education and festivals, so a project in one of these areas is the clearest fit.
- The annual report shows its grants mainly in Scotland, but no geographic focus is stated.
- Typical grants fall between £1,000 and £50,000, with a median of £20,000, though the largest grant was £60,000, so a modest request sits well within the pattern.
- No published application process was found in the annual report or the register entry, so check how to make contact before preparing a full bid, and note that with only 10 grants recorded, the annual report does not show how competitive it is.
