CITC Classrooms in the Clouds
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its work fits best if your project is about education for children in rural Nepal, and the charity names the Solukhumbu/Everest region as its priority.
- The annual report gave no readable grants figure and no grant range is stated, so this profile cannot tell you what size of request is typical, and you may want to ask the charity before setting an amount.
- If your project involves building, show the significant contribution the local community will make, because the charity values local ownership and expects that contribution.
- It accepts applications on a rolling basis and considers requests against local need and its aims, so make that link clear in your first approach.
- The profile does not say how competitive it is or whether it prefers an introduction first.
