Key takeaways

The Royal Anglian Regiment Charity is built around the Regiment and its predecessor regiments, so a small nonprofit fits mainly if its work serves those members, their dependants, or the Regiment's memorials, chapels and museums.
Organisations outside that circle should not expect benevolent help, which goes to serving and former members and their dependants in need, hardship or distress.
Its stated focus is East Anglia, with a priority on Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, and the trustees have agreed an upper limit of £1,000 for each case, so any request should be modest and tied to a specific need.
Neither the annual report nor its website publishes an application process, so the sensible first step is to contact the charity directly to ask whether your project fits.
Its annual giving is around £13,000 in total, so expect limited money and do not treat it as a major funder.
