No grants have been made specifically to the King's Fund institute or the King's Fund college but various ad hoc payments have been made to the King's Fund over the last six years in respect of individual projects and conferences. Some of these payments may have related to activities of the institute or college but this could be confirmed only at disproportionate cost.
