Our track record and experience in grant-making across Wales, and in a variety of themes, means we offer expertise and local knowledge to bring to bear on your charitable giving.

As a charity, we charge fees to our Fund holders for grants administration, investment management and philanthropy services. Our management fees vary according to the size of the Funds, and our standard charges are: 10% of the annual grant-making sum, and 1.25% annual fee on the capital sum for endowment Funds (which also incur a typical set-up cost of 3%).
