extracted from its FY2025 accounts

FY2024: 2 grants totalling £30k are listed but excluded from totals: unverified read (a second reading of the page gave a different amount).

FY2022: all 8 listed grants are unverified reads (£757k in total) and are excluded from totals and counts (the grant list adds up to far more (or far less) than this charity’s own reported spending and income for the year, so the list is set aside for checking (often a misread; sometimes multi-year awards or a register figure that is itself wrong)).

Application guidance — from the funder’s own website

• How to apply: The David Wilson Foundation recognises that applying for a grant requires plenty of preparation and research by the beneficiary and therefore does not operate an open application process.

What this funder supports

Based on the register classifications and operating areas of the grant recipients we could match to the charity register (a subset of all grantees).

What changed: FY2023 → FY2024

Grantees that appear, disappear or move by 50%+ between the two most recent filings that have counted grants (unverified reads are left out, so a filing whose grants are all unverified is skipped). A grantee “dropped” may simply have received a multi-year grant earlier.

About this data

This grant list is extracted by automated reading of the grant-maker’s own accounts PDFs as filed with the Charity Commission, and cross-checked against the accounts’ stated grant totals (no individually listed grants). Recipients are linked to register entries only on an exact charity-number or unambiguous exact-name match. If you represent this funder or a recipient and want a correction, email [email protected].

Grants marked “Unverified read” were flagged by automated checks as possibly misread from the filed accounts. They stay in the list and the CSV (read_status column) but are left out of the totals, counts and recipient tallies this site computes.
