The size f the grant usually mirrrs the size and scale f the prpsed prject Extended Descriptin The Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts is the perating ffice f 18 grant making trusts established by three generatins f the Sainsbury family. The trusts' dnatins t charitable causes ver several decades represent ne f the leading examples f sustained philanthrpy in Britain. Each trust wrks autnmusly as an independent legal entity with a separate Bard f Trustees, actively led by an individual member f the family with keenly-fllwed interests. The Trusts each have their wn areas f interests and plicies, which can ften be very specific and fcused. Tgether, the Trusts aim t supprt charitable causes in the UK. Latest Infrmatin Applicatins can be made at any time, but may be cnsidered at varius times depending n the Trust. Key Criteria The majrity f Trusts prefer t fund new, innvative and unusual wrk which addresses new issues and can be successfully replicated r becme self-sustaining. Applicants are advised t cntact the Trusts' ffice t discuss eligibility as different Trusts accept applicatins frm varius rganisatins such as charitable rganisatins, universities, schls and natinal institutin Eligible Expenditure The Trusts each have their wn areas f interests and plicies, which can ften be very specific and fcused. This has resulted in the Trusts adpting a practive apprach t grant distributin as ppsed t being reactive; thus respnses t unslicited applicatins frm nly a very mdest part f their grant making. It shuld therefre be understd that the majrity f unslicited prpsals received will be unsuccessful.

The ther trusts will cnsider exceptinal prpsals which clsely fit their specific areas f interest. As the majrity f the Trusts d nt publish literature cntaining infrmatin n their pririties, grant guidelines are difficult t btain, especially fr the smaller and newer Trusts. Therefre, this reprt
