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

  • The funder states that it does not regard itself as a grant-making body and that it does not invite applications for grants and donations.
  • It takes requests by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited ones, so a cold approach is unlikely to be considered.
  • Mission-appeal money goes to the Institute's Generalate in Rome, and UK trustees give only occasional support to organisations whose work falls within the CIO's objects, which are charitable work carried on by or under the direction of the Institute.
  • Organisations with no connection to that work should not apply, and no grant range is stated, so there is no typical size to plan around.
