Objects Keyword:

A charity's objects describe what the charity has been legally set up to achieve. They do not necessarily describe all of the activities the charity carries out in order to achieve these objects. Keywords can be used when you do not know the precise name of a charity or if you want a list of charities whose name and/or objects include particular words. To find specific types of charity you get better results by using a combination of name and object keywords. For example, cancer related charities do not always have the word 'cancer' in their title but it may appear in the object description. Using name and object keywords to find cancer related charities, you can refine your search to charities that have the word 'cancer' in their name, their objects or in both.
