Key takeaways
- Essa Foundation's stated themes are education for children and poverty relief, so a project that clearly fits one of these is the place to start.
- Its annual report gives total giving of £297,058, which may include grants to individuals, but no grant range is stated, so a grant writer cannot tell what size of request would fit.
- No way to apply has been published, so check the annual report and the register entry for a contact route before writing anything.
- Its stated geographic focus is world-wide.
