Grant Making Strategy

Trustees often have strong opinions about the areas they want to support and there may be differences of opinion amongst them about their objectives or how to achieve them. Once they have agreed on what they want to support, their donations need to get to the organisations best placed to deliver.

There are thousands of charities in the UK, many of them with very similar objectives. Not all are as well run, effective and worthy of support as others. Deciding on which charities should receive support can be difficult for trustees with many factors to consider. Trustees may therefore rely on their foundation administrator to research into relevant charities, carry out due diligence and report back on which charities and projects will best fulfil the trustee’s strategy.
