Animal Aid Charitable Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your work centres on animal education or encouraging vegan lifestyles, it matches the funder's stated themes closely, although no grant range is stated.
- With annual giving of £299,000 reported in the annual report, keep any request modest and tie it to the project's own costs.
- The funder accepts applications on a rolling basis but publishes no address, email or phone number, so the route in is not spelled out and you may need to ask the charity how to proceed.
- Projects are fully assessed and must be deemed suitable, and grants are made only when financial resources are available, so a well-matched request can still go unfunded.
- Organisations whose work does not further its objectives are unlikely to be suitable.
