Key takeaways

  • Conciliation Resources' work on mediation, dialogue, dealing with the past and self-determination in conflict settings is the main test of fit, and its geographic focus is stated as worldwide.
  • Neither its annual report, its register entry nor its website publishes an application process, and the only route shown is a contact for getting in touch, so a short enquiry before writing a full proposal is the sensible first step.
  • The sources give no annual giving figure and no grant range, so a grant writer has no published basis for sizing a request and should ask the contact what level of support would be realistic.
  • The annual report and its website do not say how competitive the funder is or what its timing is, and its partnership-based model suggests that a relationship with the team may matter.
  • If your work does not touch these themes, it is unlikely to fit.

Overview

Conciliation Resources is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1055436).

Conciliation Resources was established, initially working in Fiji and Sierra Leone, on the belief that people living in areas of violent conflict should be involved in resolving it. Its mission is to provide practical support to help people affected by violent conflict achieve lasting peace, and it draws on shared experience to improve peacebuilding policies and practice worldwide. Its work covers a number of different conflicts and situations across seven regions, alongside global initiatives. The sources do not give its annual giving or how that giving divides between its programmes.
