AUBI — Advancement of Universal Basic Income
At a glance
Key takeaways
- AUBI's stated work is poverty relief and income security, so a project that helps people in need or organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty fits its objects, and so does support for young people's healthy recreation.
- The Charity Commission register records £12,000 in grants to institutions, so a modest request is the realistic ask, and no grant range is stated to show what a typical or largest award looks like.
- Neither the annual report, the register entry nor its website publishes a way to apply, so a short enquiry to the charity before writing a full application is the sensible first step.
- Nothing in the annual report, the register entry or its website says how competitive it is or whether relationships matter, and no exclusions are named beyond its geographic focus of England and Wales.
