Key takeaways

  • BRAC Europe is the European affiliate of BRAC, and its recorded institutional giving is restricted project disbursements to BRAC organisations, so a request would need to fit that pattern rather than suit an open grant round.
  • Its stated priority areas are the UK, Asia and Africa, and its themes are education, healthcare, economic development and poverty alleviation.
  • The Charity Commission register shows £358,063 in annual giving, but no grant range is stated, so ask what size of project it would consider rather than assuming one.
  • No application process is published, so contact the details shown on its website to test whether your project fits before you write a full proposal; its partnerships with trusts, foundations and private-sector bodies suggest a relationship-led approach, though its annual report and website do not say how competitive it is.
