How to apply: New applicants must contact the Trust team before submitting. The process involves a two-phase online application, followed by a meeting by invitation, and final trustee review. Only a select number of applications proceed annually.
What they don’t fund: We are unable to consider applications from non-UK organisations or those outside our funding priorities. No, the Trust does not fund projects related to political or religious activities.
