Lyndal Tree Foundation
About This Funder
The Lyndal Tree Foundation, established in 2008 by Alan Duttine OBE in response to his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, is a family-led grant-making trust chaired by Lynda Duttine. It honors Alan's legacy by tackling pressing social and health challenges through impactful grants, guided by values of integrity, prudent stewardship, robust governance, and lasting societal change. Its distinctive trustee-driven approach prioritizes strategic, informed giving rooted in personal experience, focusing on measurable outcomes rather than open calls.
The foundation funds medical research—especially dementia, with major grants like £300,000 to Alzheimer’s Research UK—alongside health and wellbeing for vulnerable groups, children and young people, disability support, and community/environmental initiatives. It backs projects enhancing care, education, leisure, and dignity for those facing illness or disadvantage, supporting both individuals and organizations via project funding, core costs, capital grants, and research. Beneficiaries include Cancer Support Yorkshire, Children’s Heart Surgery Fund, Lifelites, and Marine Conservation Society, emphasizing direct interventions with tangible impact.
Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities, preferably small to medium-sized (often under £1 million income), operating primarily in Bradford, Bristol, Leeds, North Yorkshire, Caerphilly, and Ceredigion, though UK-wide projects may qualify if aligned with priorities. No unsolicited applications are accepted; funding is invite-only, selected at trustees’ discretion during adhoc meetings held periodically.
Typical grants range from £5,000 to £50,000 (most £10,000–£25,000), with occasional larger awards for research. No public deadlines or exclusions beyond charitable status and public benefit are noted, setting it apart as a targeted, family-influenced funder for health innovation and compassionate youth/vulnerable support.
