The guide to major trustsVolume 1 - Part 1 (2012/13 ed.)

Grant-making trusts are a key source of funding for charitable activity, and this guide - now in its thirteenth edition - has built a reputation as the definitive source of information in this area.

It concentrates on the 400 largest trusts that give over GBP300,000 a year, with a combined grant-making total of around GBP2.53 billion.

The content is compiled both through contact with the trusts and through independent research.

Each entry gives full details of the trust's activity, including: a clear description of the trust's grant-making policies and practices a yearly grant total contact details areas or subjects the trusts will not consider. The Annual Reports and guidelines for applicants are quoted extensively where relevant.
