We are a small grant giving trust interested in supporting organisations that offer individuals a chance to challenge their own self-perceptions, develop greater tolerance of intellectual and cultural diversity, and gain access to opportunities from which they would otherwise be excluded for economic reasons. Most but not all of our grants are made in response to news from our contact networks.
