NB – NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW APPLICATIONS
Grants are made to charities, primarily in the UK but also overseas, focusing on conservation, protecting the natural environment, providing relief of suffering and hardship, enabling life-enhancing opportunities to the mentally and physically disabled and encouraging youth work concerned with helping the community.
A number of factors are taken into account when awarding grants, including: the effectiveness and impact of the charity; the level of administration costs (including how much senior executives in the charity are paid); the financial position of the charity; and whether the operations of the charity are on a scale that could benefit significantly from the amount of the donation.
