The Sillitoe Charitable Trust

• The Trust's stated purpose is education in economic geology, with a particular focus on geology students, so work in those areas, or in research, publications or student support, is the clearest fit.
• Its trustees describe smaller donations to UK-based charities, so a modest request for UK work sits more closely with what they have said than a large one, though no grant range is stated to confirm a typical size.
• The £4,200,000 paid out comes from a scanned page in the annual report and the register does not confirm it, so do not treat it as a settled measure of scale.
• No application process is published, and none was found in the annual report or the register entry, so a short written enquiry is a reasonable first step, and neither the annual report nor the register entry gives any timing or sense of how competitive funding is.

• Grants paid, year to 31 October 2025: grants paid out in the year.

— No grants figure for that year.
