Key takeaways

  • The charity's objects centre on serving and former Scots Guards personnel and their dependants, and on charities that benefit the Scots Guards family, so a small nonprofit whose work falls outside that community is unlikely to fit.
  • Its annual report gives no grant range, so any request should be sized to a specific need and checked with the contact first, since no application process is published.
  • Its stated themes are support for the wounded, bereaved families, debt relief, respite breaks, mobility assistance, education and home improvement, and its organisational grants include regimental battalion and company activities and the band.
  • The annual report states no geographic focus, so location alone should not decide whether to apply, and the annual report does not say how competitive or timed its giving is.
