Caravan of Mercy
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Caravan of Mercy's stated work covers clean water and sanitation, education, healthcare, orphan and widow sponsorship, income-generating projects and emergency relief in Asia and Africa, so a project in one of those themes and areas is the one to put to it.
- Its annual giving is £673,031 and the Charity Commission register records grants to institutions, but no grant range is published, so size your request to the project's real costs rather than to this total.
- No application process is published in the annual report, register entry or its website, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown to ask how it considers requests and when.
- Neither timing nor how competitive or relationship-led its giving is can be judged from these sources, so put those questions in your first contact.
- The sources state no exclusions or eligibility rules, so no organisation can be ruled out on this information alone.
