The UK Friends of Georgetown
At a glance
Key takeaways
- This funder's stated purpose is to advance learning and education, particularly at Georgetown University, and it elects to donate all of its incoming resources, less administrative expenses, to that university.
- A small nonprofit whose work has no connection to Georgetown University is therefore unlikely to fit what this funder exists to support.
- Its annual report gives £334,658 paid in grants, all directed to that one institution, and the grant range is not stated, so there is no typical request size to aim for.
- No application process is published, so the only route the available information supports is a short enquiry through the contact shown, and how competitive or relationship-led it is cannot be judged from what is published.
- Organisations with no link to Georgetown University should not apply.
