Drop of Compassion
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Drop of Compassion's stated priority is Africa and Asia, and its work centres on water, health, education, sustainable livelihoods and emergency relief, so a charity working in those areas or on those themes has a clear reason to look at it.
- Its annual report shows £932,481 paid out, but the grant range is not stated, so it is hard to judge a realistic request size, and it is sensible to keep any first ask modest.
- No application process is published, so start with the contact shown on its website or register entry and describe your project briefly before sending a full proposal.
- The funder works through partner organisations, so it is worth asking how it chooses those partners and whether it funds groups outside them.
- Nothing published rules out any type of organisation, so do not assume you are ineligible just because your work is not clearly in its stated areas; ask first.
