Edmund Rice Bicentennial Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The trust's stated objects are the Edmund Rice mission, so a project that clearly links to Christian faith, education and training, health, human rights or livelihoods is the most natural fit, particularly in the countries the Geographic focus line lists as priorities: Malawi, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Tanzania, South Sudan, Uganda, Ghana, Liberia, The Gambia and Sierra Leone.
- The annual report gives a single total of £958,501 in annual giving, which may include grants to individuals, and no typical grant size or range is stated, so there is no basis here for setting a figure.
- No way to apply is published in the annual report, the register entry or other pages about the trust, so a short enquiry asking how it accepts requests and how it decides them is a sensible first step.
- The only approved applicants the annual report names are the Africa Province and Edmund Rice Development Ltd, and the report gives no evidence of how open the trust is to applicants without a link to that network.
