Grants & Funding

Grant-giving trusts and foundations fund research at Royal charter universities by providing grants that can range from a few hundred dollars to multi-million dollar awards. These trusts and foundations derive their income primarily from endowments, which are capital sums given by individuals, families, or companies. 

Philanthropic organizations often have specific areas of interest or strategic priorities, and they fund projects that align with their mission. For instance, they may support research that has a clear need, such as for general purposes, buildings, equipment, or special projects. They look for how the grant fits with the university's mission and strategy, as well as the demonstrable impact of the research.

The process of obtaining funding from these trusts and foundations typically involves submitting a proposal that outlines the research project, its objectives, and its expected outcomes. The proposal must also demonstrate how the project aligns with the funding body's interests and priorities. Successful applications are those that can show a clear benefit to society or advancement in the field of study.
