Trust Fund Policy:
In assessing applications, the following criteria are taken into consideration:

+The financial viability of the organisation
+The degree of need for the project requiring funding
+The amount spent on administration and fundraising as compared to the charitable activities
+The ability to raise sufficient funding to meet the appeal target
+Whether the aims of the organisation meet the trustees' aspirations
+Whether the organisation has the right priorities
+Where possible, the ability of the organisation to achieve the goals

Nature of Grants:
There is no limit on the size of grant. Every application is considered on its own merits.

Annual Income: 38,508,000 in 2008-09

Restrictions:
What the Foundation is unlikely to fund:
1. We cannot consider any funding request made within 12 months of the outcome of a previous application, whether a grant was received or not.
2. The Foundation only considers applications from UK registered charities and your registration number is required (unless you have exempt status as a church, educational establishment, hospital or housing corporation).
3. The Foundation does not typically fund projects outside the UK, even if the organisation is a registered charity within Britain.
4. The Foundation is not able to accept applications from individuals or for individual research or study. This includes gap year activities, study trips, fundraising expeditions and sponsorship.
5. The Foundation does not support animal welfare charities.
6. Typically the Foundation does not fund one-off events such as galas or festivals, even if for fundraising purposes. The Foundation is also unable to provide sponsorship.
7. The Foundation does not fund specific salaries and positions, though Trustees will consider contributing to core operating costs of which we recognise general salary costs will be a part - this is primarily because grants are single-year commitments.
8. The Foundation does not make funding commitments over several years - grants made are typically for a single year.
9. It is unusual for the Foundation to consider making a grant to organisations who cannot demonstrate significant progress with fundraising, so please bear this in mind when considering the timing of your application. In general, the Trustees look for organisations to have raised the majority of funding through local or statutory sources before an approach is made.

Method of Application:
Applications must be made in writing, accompanied by the Foundation\'s standard form (available on website).
