Exclusions

The Trust’s revised Charitable Donations policy, introduced in November 2011, lists what we consider supporting.

Applicants should familiarise themselves with the charitable themes and sub-themes before making an application.

As a broad guide, applications are not normally provided for:

Organisations based outside the United Kingdom
Individuals, except through The Trust’s own training schemes
General or mailshot appeals
Political organisations
Religious organisations
Retrospective applications
Student bodies as opposed to universities
Departments within a university unless the appeal gains the support of, and is channelled through, the Principal
Fee-paying schools, except through The Trust’s own Educational Grants Scheme for children who are at, or need to attend, a Scottish independent secondary school
Expeditions, except through the auspices of recognised bodies such as the British Schools Exploring Society (BSES)
Community and village halls other than those in Tarland and the local area
