ForAfrika
At a glance
Key takeaways
- ForAfrika's work fits best if your project is a feeding programme or falls within its six areas of emergencies, water, food, health, education and economic empowerment, and the annual report says its grants support work in eight African countries.
- The annual report does not name those countries, so check that your project is in one of them before you write.
- Grants go to institutions at the Trustees' discretion and no application process is published, so a short approach to the charity to ask whether a request would be considered is a sensible first step.
- The annual report gives no typical grant size, and the £402,000 paid is its total giving across all its work, not the size of any single grant, so keep an initial request modest and ask what would suit.
- Nothing in the annual report sets out deadlines, timing or how competitive funding is, so ask directly before investing much time in a full proposal.
