This is not an exclusive list and in previous years the Foundation has made awards outside of the above categories.
The Foundation’s geographic area of interest is:
o United Kingdom.
o Botswana.
o Burundi.
o Kenya.
o Malawi.
o Mozambique.
o Rwanda.
o South Africa.
o Tanzania.
o Uganda.

Grants of between £500 and £3,000 are available. There is no match funding requirement.
During the year ending 5 April 2018 the Foundation awarded 37 grants (8 to individuals, 29 to charities and sports organisations).
A list of all grants made over the last two years can be found on page 10 of the Foundation’s annual accounts.
