Key takeaways

CFR (UK) makes grants to the Council for programmes that advance the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslim faith and tradition, education in the Community's history and culture, members' development and relief of their needs, so your work fits best if it serves those aims.
Applications are assessed case by case against programme objectives and how far they reach marginalised and vulnerable Community members, so a proposal should show that reach clearly.
No grant range is stated and no publicly published application process is given, so an initial enquiry is the sensible first step, and the annual report is the place to check what the charity has funded.
Trustees make grants only when satisfied they are in keeping with the charity's objectives, so a request outside those aims is unlikely to be considered.
