The Trust gives the trustees the power to apply the funds in such a manner as they think fit for the benefit of the charitable objects. The trustees identify projects and organisations they wish to support and only make grants to other registered charities. The focus of the grant making is the development and support of the young and the conservation of both the natural and built environment. While the Trustees make grants to UK based charities, it may apply the grants to support work done by those charities overseas. Grants are made based on applications that have been made to the Trust and also charities nominated by Trustees as a result of research undertaken on specific organisations. The trustees will consider both one off grants often to support capital or project needs. They will also consider grants made with a commitment to repeat over a number of years, typically in three-year cycles. |
