A M Qattan Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- This funder fits best with work based in Palestine, since its stated geographic focus is Palestine and its themes are arts and culture, education, and Arab and Palestinian studies.
- Its annual report shows £153,484 paid out in total, and no grant range is stated, so keep any request modest and confirm the funder's interest before writing a full bid.
- It describes its opportunities as open, transparent and competitive, with a specific focus on marginalised or impoverished communities, so make clear who your work reaches.
- The one published route is the Visual Arts: A Flourishing Field (VAFF) project grants, open only to non-profit organisations and academic institutions registered in the West Bank (including Jerusalem) or the Gaza Strip, which must submit the application form, required annexes, and detailed budgets and action plans.
- Organisations registered elsewhere are not eligible for those grants, and first-round VAFF partners may reapply in the second round without any guarantee of a second grant.
