    I would tell them how helpful the Joffe Trust are as funders, that it's worth first looking on their website on what they currently fund and contacting them for an initial conversation because they are approachable and for us also genuinely want to help the charities they support, asking the right questions to help each charity thrive into the future.

    Wonderful support as a grant funder but also reports are not overwhelming to do as some other funders can be.

    If you had one piece of advice to give to this funder (about grantmaking or anything else), what would it be?

    I think the Joffe Trust are very transparent and we can not fault them as a funder.
