Frequently Asked Questions

''The Foundation achieves its objectives by making grants, awards and donations. Our principal objective is the relief of sickness.'' 
 

Direct project support

This is the most successful area for funding requests.
 

Research

We will fund medical research where it aims to match our objectives and where we consider that it is likely to have a high probability of a positive clinical outcome.
 

Awards and scholarships

We will occasionally fund awards and scholarships where they demonstrate that they contribute to the Foundation’s areas of benefit.
 
Building or refurbishment projects
 
The Foundation is less likely to make grants towards capital projects (i.e. buildings and refurbishment costs). However, capital projects may be supported where clear benefit and good management are demonstrable.
 

Equipment

Items of equipment may be funded, particularly if part of a wider proposal. You should contact us first if your proposal includes requests for equipment funding.
 

Staffing

Staffing is occasionally supported. We would normally expect to see a proposal where self-financing is indicated within three years.
