Children of Adam
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Children of Adam is most likely to fit a registered UK charity that delivers aid overseas, which is the group it says it supports for grant-making, and its themes include emergency relief, clean water, livelihoods, homelessness, orphan support and medical aid.
- Organisations that are not registered UK charities, or that do not deliver aid overseas, are outside the group it describes supporting.
- The annual report shows £1,668,178 paid out, but no grant range is stated, so you cannot judge a realistic request size from it and should ask the charity before naming an amount.
- No application process is published, and grant-making is done through memorandums of understanding with registered charities, so a short enquiry about whether a memorandum of understanding is open to your organisation is a better first step than a cold application.
- Nothing states how competitive funding is or how quickly decisions are made, so plan for a relationship-led approach with no fixed deadline to work to.
