Assunnah Islamic Centre
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The centre's stated objects cover Somali culture in the UK, Islamic religion and education, charitable purposes for Somalis in the UK, and a place of worship in East London, so a project should clearly match one of these to fit.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and the trustees consider favourable applications that match its objects, so there is no deadline to work towards, though the source does not say how requests are weighed.
- With annual giving of £8,140 in total and no grant range stated, a small, well-costed request is more realistic than a large one.
- Its recorded recipients include a community organisation, a foundation and a mosque, but the grant entries do not say what the money paid for, so state plainly in your application how your work serves its objects.
- Its stated focus is the United Kingdom, with Greater London a priority, and no exclusions are stated.
