Al-Hikmeh Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated priority is Iraq, and its work centres on poverty and financial hardship there and on sickness among orphans and other people in need, so projects in those areas are the clearest fit.
- Its annual report gives annual giving of £1,298,809, but no grant range is stated, so the published figures do not show what size of request is realistic, and a small organisation should ask the foundation directly what it would consider.
- It publishes no application process, so the first step is to get in touch using the contact shown rather than sending a formal proposal.
- Its health work includes medical equipment and grants to organisations, and it gives to partner organisations whose work is in line with its objectives, so an applicant can explain how its own work matches those aims.
- Nothing published says who should not apply, so the stated Iraq priority is the main guide, and a group working elsewhere should check the fit before approaching it.
