Dear Sir/ Madam,

We wish to inform you that the above foundation has short-listed you for a grant, which is to be used for your humanitarian/organizational activities; this grant is in recognition of your programmes and activities. The J Paul Getty Jnr Charitable Trust was endowed by Sir John Paul Getty, KBE, who died in April 2003 in London, where he had lived since the 1970s. The Trust started distributing funds in 1986, and since then it has awarded nearly ?38 million (BP) to over 3,000 charities across the United Kingdom.

The Trust's main aim has always been to fund well managed projects which help to relieve poverty, support disadvantaged people, and effect long-term change where help is not readily available from the public or private purse. The Trust also provides funding for the arts, and towards the conservation of the natural and built environment.

The Trust currently has a capital of around 44 million British Pounds (BP), and in 2008, it awarded grants amounting to 3.1 million British Pounds (BP) to support its charitable aims in some selected areas like The Educational Grants Directory, The Environmental Funding Guide, The Sports Funding Guide, The Youth Funding Guide in some part of Africa.

In accordance with the expressed wishes of Sir Paul, the trustees have now decided to wind down the Trust over a period of between five and ten years. This means that they will be increasing the level of annual spend and will be looking for opportunities to award a number of more substantial grants that will have an enduring impact.

Before his death, Sir. Paul gave $5 million United States Dollars to the University of San Diego to endow a lecture series at the J Paul Getty Institute for Peace & Justice.You're therefore requested to contact Ms. Elizabeth Rantzen by e-mail: jpgjct@hotmail.com for details and procedure to obtain your grant.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Rantzen
UK Foundation Secretary.
