Low
Annual Giving
$100K
Grant Range
$5K – $500K
Tips for Applicants
Prospective applicants should contact the trust directly to understand current funding priorities and application procedures, as no website or published guidelines are readily available. Given the modest annual giving level, focus on clearly demonstrating alignment with the trust's values and demonstrated organisational capacity.
Giving Philosophy
As a long-established trust with modest annual giving, the foundation likely supports established charitable organisations with demonstrated impact. The trust appears to take a conservative, selective approach to grantmaking.
