The Prostate Project
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Prostate Project's support is directed at prostate cancer, through research, treatment and patient support, so a request should clearly connect to one of those themes.
- Its annual report shows £269,315 awarded in total, but no grant range is stated, so a modest, specific request is a sensible starting point and should not assume any particular size.
- No application process is published, so the first step is to get in touch using the contact shown.
- The charity names its own partners, the Royal Surrey County Hospital, St Luke's Cancer Centre, Frimley Park Hospital and the Oncology Research Group at the University of Surrey, and says it sets priorities with patients, medical experts and researchers, so existing links with those partners may matter, though neither the annual report nor its website says how competitive funding is.
- Organisations whose work is not about prostate cancer are unlikely to fit its stated themes.
