THE CAPSTAN TRUST 

THE TRUST IS ONLY MAKING GRANTS TO CHARITIES SELECTED BY THE TRUSTEES. WHEN FUNDS PERMIT, AN OPEN APPLICATION PROCESS WILL BE SET UP, BUT SENDERS OF UNSOLICITED APPLICATIONS IN THE INTERIM ARE WASTING THEIR TIME AND OURS, AND SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCING THEIR CHANCES OF SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE. EMAIL OUR CONTACT ADDRESS, OR CHECK THIS PAGE (WE SUGGEST ANNUALLY) TO BE NOTIFIED OF ANY GRANT PROGRAMME.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • This charity appears to be dormant
