Well, As Howard reported on 21 June, I have finally published a directory of “unpublished”
Scottish grant-making trusts. It has been a long haul. A few people asked me how
relevant it could be for fundraisers outside Scotland, so I undertook an analysis
of the contacts.

I think that quite a high proportion of the trusts included in the directory should
be of interest to fundraisers outside Scotland. I have discovered 54 with one or
more reasons for being of interest in this regard.

37 support UK wide organisations. However, further research will be required to 
establish how many of them will only support local activities. NB As I have not 
included (in this analysis) any trusts that show a geographical interest restricted
to Scotland, I think things don’t look too bad. Of those 37, 14 definitely support
organisations in England. 28 trusts support international organisations. At least
five trusts have close connections to England – e.g. a trustee lives there, settlor
lives/lived there, etc. One settler was born in Prague. One company trust has offices
in London, and at least one trustee was educated at Cambridge.

While I never expected this to make me wealthy, it has been very satisfying getting
some great feedback. See my website for details.

Do get in touch if you want more details, or are interested in buying a copy.
