Overview
The Trustees can consider only very few unsolicited applications.
Trustees policy from 2005 is to support:
- Quick response to areas of great need and distress. Small grants of £250 to £500
- providing funds for qualified experts to advise other charities on fundraising, on technology and financial structure (cash flow) of charitable organisations whether grant receiving or grant giving.
- Helping to setup international conferences be they in the field of music, education or culture.
- Helping to organise fundraising events
- Assisting in the running, office management of other grant giving charitable trusts which do not require full time staff
- lecturing and providing lecturers on charitable trust matters
- continuing to make grants in areas well known to the trustees.
How to Apply
This Trust is in the process of winding down.
This trust states that there should be ABSOLUTELY NO PERSONAL CALLERS, TELEPHONE OR FAX ENQUIRIES.
However, intrepid applicants may nevertheless explore their eligibility by sending a letter of application (on one side of A4 please) giving brief details of what funding is required and why it is required.
Do not send any other papers or accounts unless requested. Replies will only be sent if you enclose a stamped, self addressed envelope.
