ULBC Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Trust's stated work is supporting rowing at the University of London, through the University of London Boat Club and the rowing clubs of affiliated colleges, with grants for coaching, boat spares and repairs, training camps, athlete development and boathouse running costs, so a request fits best if it is for that kind of programme cost.
- Its annual giving was £215,000 in its most recent annual report, though the register does not confirm that scale.
- No grant range is published, so the annual report gives no typical request size to aim for, and the register's Hounslow area is not a stated geographic focus.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to contact the Trust using the contact shown rather than submitting a formal application.
- Nothing in the annual report says anything about timing or how competitive the Trust is, so have a first conversation before committing to a deadline or a budget.
