Al Medina 313
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your project fits if it falls within the charity's stated themes of clean water, education and orphan care, emergency relief, Islamic education, food aid, healthcare, or worship facilities, and if it is in its listed priority areas: around the world, Pakistan, Uganda, or the UK.
- No grant range is stated, so there is no basis for judging a realistic request size, and you should ask the charity directly before setting an amount.
- Project requests are assessed against its charitable objectives and criteria, and the charity makes the final eligibility decision at its discretion, so check that your project meets those objectives before applying, and do not apply if it does not.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so timing is not fixed.
- How competitive funding is has not been stated, so any approach should rest on how closely your project matches its stated objectives.
