Family for Every Child
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- Its work fits best if your organisation is a local civil society group already active in child protection, family support, kinship care, children on the move, or preventing sexual violence against boys.
- Its application method is by invitation only and it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold proposal is unlikely to be the way in; the linked form is for organisations that want to learn about joining the Alliance.
- Membership requires a due diligence review and sharing information on your financial position, financial management and internal controls, so have these ready before you make contact.
- Most of its grants fall between £1,350 and £23,500, with a median of about £7,150, so a request in that band is realistic, though the largest grant was about £26,000.
- Given the invitation-only route, this looks like a relationship-led funder, so your first step should be the form.
