They do not fund individuals or non-charitable organisations.

The Trust does not fund individuals or non-charitable organisations. They do not accept unsolicited applications; all grants are made by invitation only. Beyond these criteria, the Trust has no specific exclusions on cause areas or cost types, as they fund a wide range of activities including core costs, research, and capital items.

The Trust works exclusively by invitation and does not accept unsolicited applications. They provide flexible, responsive grants that can cover direct services, core costs, and capital items.
