Key takeaways

  • Global NCAP's stated work is supporting New Car Assessment Programmes and promoting vehicle safety, so a small charity whose work sits outside vehicle safety is unlikely to fit.
  • The annual report records €644,000 paid, but all of it went to a single NCAP, and no grant range is given, so a small nonprofit should not assume any particular request size.
  • No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so the only route the sources show is the contact given for getting in touch, and a short enquiry is the sensible first step.
  • The sources do not say how it chooses grantees or when it decides, so confirm timing and fit with the charity before drafting a full request.
