Brothers of the Sacred Heart
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated focus is Catholic education and poverty relief, with priority areas given as Africa, the Philippines, England and Wales, so a project in those places that fits one of those themes is the best match.
- Its objects also allow charitable purposes connected with the Roman Catholic religion in England and Wales and in other countries where the Brothers are established.
- Trustees make grants where they identify real need after reviewing each case, and no application process is published in the annual report or the register entry, so a short approach to the contact shown, setting out the need and the cost, is a sensible first step.
- Do not ask for multi-year funding, because it does not fund multi-year grants and its payments are for a single year.
- Its annual giving is £189,517 according to the annual report, and no grant range is stated, so a modest, clearly costed request is a reasonable starting point; nothing published says how competitive or relationship-led it is.
