Key takeaways

Anjuman-e-Zainee's grant-making is meant to advance Islamic religious practice, education, relief of need, and recreation and leisure.
Croydon is its stated priority, and its grants are particularly for the Dawoodi Bohra Jamaat of Croydon, so check first that your work reaches that area or community.
Its annual giving was £69,521 in its annual report, but the range of its grants is not stated, so judge the size of any request by speaking to the foundation first.
Neither its annual report nor its website publishes an application process, so use the contact it shows to ask whether it accepts approaches, what it needs and how long decisions take, as nothing available says how many applications it receives.
Organisations outside Croydon or the Jamaat community may find its priorities a poor match.
