How a charity gets proposed
No portal, no funding round
01
Someone suggests a charity
Usually a client or member of staff at Altor Wealth who knows the charity well, has volunteered for it or has been helped by it. Larger grants to emergency appeals are proposed by the trustees themselves.
02
The trustees check it
We confirm the charity is registered in the UK, read its latest accounts, and ask whether a grant would have a large net impact relative to its size. For themed grants we look for projects that achieve two or more of our aims at once.
03
A grant is made and recorded
Grants are paid directly to the charity. Every one is listed here and in the annual report, with the amount and what it was for.
Know a charity we should look at?
Most of our smaller grants start as a suggestion from a client or member of staff at Altor Wealth.
