However, if the applicant has raised less than 50% of their budget the Trustees will only consider awarding a maximum of 30% funding.

Large grants of over £50,000 are available to charities and universities promoting education, international friendship and understanding, peace and sustainable development in the UK and overseas. Small and medium grant applications (up to £50,000) are accepted throughout the year.
