Prospect research specialists ResearchPlus have published a directory of 113 grant-
making trusts.

All of them are registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales but 
none of them yet appear in the Directory of Social Change’s Trustfunding website.
As such, they should be less well-known than many other grantmaking trusts.

All of them have received substantial donations, according to ResearchPlus’ Finbar
Cullen. Usually these gifts have been made by the settlors/trustees. They range 
from £100,000 to £300 milllion. Most of the substantial donations were made, says
Cullen, between 2011 and 2013.

Each entry in the report includes information, where possible, on trust name, registered
number, connected company, correspondent, address, telephone, fax, website, email,
trustees, donation year ending, highest donation, donation details, wealth level,
wealth information, charitable interests, area of benefit, grants year ending, total
grants, grants, assets, application process, and other notes.

The [Directory of (100+) grant-making trusts](http://researchplus.co.uk/?page_id=122)
costs £115 for freelancer researchers. It is available to non-profit organisations
for £100. Non-profit organisations with an annual income of less that £5,000,000
can apply to buy it for £85. There is no VAT.

The report comes as a searchable PDF, but with editing or copying prevented. It 
is available for the purchasing organisation only, and will be marked as such.
