Governed by a board of three voluntary trustees, its mission is to provide financial support to registered charitable organisations aligned with its broad charitable objects. The Foundation emphasises responsible stewardship and investment-driven stability, balancing immediate impact with long-term sustainability. As a generalist funder, it supports a wide range of charitable purposes without thematic restrictions. The Foundation focuses on the overall work or core activities of recipient organisations, typically awarding unrestricted grants. A distinctive feature is its entirely trustee-led, discretionary approach: it does not accept unsolicited applications and has no public application process.
