The Sheridan Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your work sits within mental health, social inequality, education or climate change, The Sheridan Foundation's stated aims match it, and it describes its giving as going to charities in human health, environmental sustainability, education and social equity.
- Its recent giving of £359,567 was shared among 18 charities, and no typical grant size or range is published, so a request tied to a specific project is safer than an unguided figure.
- Neither the annual report nor the Charity Commission register records a way to apply, so check its website first, and if no route turns up, make contact in writing.
- No timing or competitiveness is stated, so do not assume a fixed funding round.
- The annual report gives no exclusions, so the only organisations clearly outside its aims are those whose work does not fit its four themes.
