‘The very newest trusts and foundations right at our fingertips. This guide improves our research efficiency and helps us to find suitable trusts more quickly and more often.’

Head of Fundraising at Zoë’s Place Baby Hospice, Liverpool

What it's about: The grant-makers in this guide, all registered in 2020/21, were chosen for their wide geographical area of operation and the breadth of their giving criteria, making them relevant to a large number of charities. Previous editions have contained a diverse range of opportunities, including charities established by entrepreneurs, investment bankers, fashion designers, wine growers, house builders, sports people and even famous musicians.

 

Who it's for: As the UK’s leading guide to the latest grant-making charities, this is a vital resource for anyone looking for potential new funding for their organisation.
