Key takeaways

The strongest fit is a London-based project that serves needy people in and around London, since London is the stated priority and the charity says its Zakat goes there, with the local community first.
Its annual report gives no usable grants figure and no grant range, so a grant writer cannot judge a realistic request size from published information, and should keep any ask modest and tied to a clear, costed project.
The charity publishes no application process, so the practical route is to use the contact shown on its website or in its annual report, and to ask about timing and process before writing a full proposal.
Nothing published says how competitive its giving is or when it decides, so a first contact is the way to find out.
