So how does my organisation apply for a grant from a trust?
First of all you need to define the need that you would like to be met. For example, for general purposes, for a special project or for a building or equipment. Only then can you identify prospective funders.
And you should only make an application after you have conducted research into previous approaches that your organisation has made to trusts, to find trusts that have objects that match your need and to obtain guidelines for applying for grants from individual trusts.
You should ensure that you do not apply for amounts beyond the trust's funding limits or for grants that fall outside of the remit of the trust.
There is some information on useful resources for researching trusts on the Institute's Fundraising Strategy pages.
