Perhaps they need a 'grant getter' to explain if they changed the fund to be about all missing children, they may stand a better chance.  |
Which actually isn't such a bad idea anyway. What's going to happen in a few months time when Madeleine is either found or the search is ended, the trust could then go towards other parents in the same situation. Thus, they'd be able to become a charity and problem solved.
As it happens though, they can probably get just as many tax breaks as a company than as a charity - just different ones.
