What is the difference between charitable trusts and research trusts, and how can we tell if their gifts would be eligible for matched funding?
For eligibility in the scheme, both types of trusts should donate less than 60 million per annum. Monies offered to an institution must be in the form of gifts. Very large trusts which donate over 60 million per annum are excluded from the scheme. Funding for research from charitable foundations for a defined piece of work to generate new knowledge in specified areas of intellectual interest, where formal peer review scrutiny is normally involved, is excluded from the matched funding scheme.
