The Thomas Benyon Charitable Settlement
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The settlement's stated focus is Zimbabwe, and its published themes are care for pensioners, clubfoot treatment in children and basic education for small children, so work in those areas there is the closest fit.
- The annual report puts annual giving at £285,449, but no grant range is stated, so a realistic request size cannot be judged from what is published and it is sensible to ask before naming a figure.
- No way to apply is published, so a short written enquiry to the trustees is the only route the annual report and register entry point to, and the approach should explain how your work relates to the settlement's stated focus and to ZANE, the organisation its resources are raised for.
- Neither the annual report nor the register entry sets out exclusions or eligibility rules, and nothing published says how competitive the settlement is, so there is no reason to assume it is closed to newcomers.
