Description

Grant-making trusts are a key source of funding for charitable activity, and this guide – now in its twelfth edition – has built a reputation as the definitive source of information in this area.

Volume 1 concentrates on the 400 largest trusts that give over £300,000 a year, with a combined grant-making total of around £2.53 billion.

The content is compiled both through contact with the trusts and through independent research.

Each entry gives full details of the trust’s activity, including:

- a clear description of the trust’s grant-making policies and practices
- a yearly grant total
- contact details
- areas or subjects the trusts will not consider.

The Annual Reports and guidelines for applicants are quoted extensively where relevant.
