Key takeaways

Your work fits if it relates to poverty relief, disaster response, clean water or long-term development, which are the themes GAiN UK names.
The register records no grants to institutions, and no grant range or annual giving figure can be read, so any request should be modest and framed as a conversation rather than a set-size application.
No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or the website, so start by using the contact the charity shows for getting in touch, and ask how it works with partners before you write anything.
Its work is delivered through local churches and like-minded NGOs, so a shared way of working with those partners may matter more than a formal proposal.
