Value Notes

The level of funding offered each year depends on the amount of income the Foundation receives from its investments. Last year the Foundation made grants totalling £930,000 to 148 charitable bodies as compared to £1.2 million the previous year to 185 groups.

Funding is at the discretion of the Trustees. Most grants tend to be in the range of £2,000 to £10,000 with a few higher and lower grants awarded.
