Key takeaways

  • Your project fits if it is an educational project in family planning and health that serves the Foundation's objectives, which is the main success factor it names.
  • Most of its grants fall between £66,000 and £205,000, with a median of about £100,000, so a request in or near that range is typical; the largest grant in the annual report was about £380,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
  • The Foundation funds educational projects primarily through organisations rather than running them itself, so present your proposal as a project your organisation would deliver, and do not expect a fit if your work is not educational.
  • Submit through the Submit your project route on its website, which accepts applications on a rolling basis.
  • No geographic focus is stated, and the annual report shows grants mainly in Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Kenya, so a project elsewhere is not ruled out.
