BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, London (Neasden Temple)
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The funder makes grants for the direct or indirect advancement of the Hindu faith, so a request fits best when the project clearly serves that purpose, in the UK or in India, which its stated focus names as a priority.
- No grant range or typical grant size is given, so base the amount on your own project costs rather than on any figure here.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and the trustees judge each request on its merits and check it against the charity's purposes and priorities, so show that link early in your application.
- Nothing says how competitive funding is or whether a prior relationship matters, so treat it as an open process.
- No exclusions are stated, but a request whose work is not aimed at advancing the Hindu faith falls outside the charity's stated purposes.
