What are the Designated Funds?

Designated Funds are individual charity funds that relate to specific areas of the Trust. Each fund has a minimum of three Fund Managers and a Charity Champion who can support you with your application. You can view a list of our funds on our Designated Funds page.

If there is a relevant Designated fund that aligns to your idea, you should contact the Charity Champion providing a brief description of your proposal. You can find more information about our Designated Funds and how to apply in Step two.

Step two: determine which fund to apply to
