Key takeaways

  • The foundation's giving is entirely at the discretion of its trustees, who discuss each approach at their meetings and judge whether the organisation is suitable, so a clear, well-argued request matters more than a fixed programme fit.
  • It gives to charitable institutions and organisations whose work complies with its objects, so check that your work falls within them before writing.
  • The annual report shows £2,131 paid out in total, and that figure may include grants to individuals, so a modest request is the realistic one to make.
  • The foundation accepts applications on a rolling basis, but it does not publish an address, email or phone number for applications, so your route in is unclear and you should not expect a fixed process.
