Good Shepherd Foundation UK
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated geographic focus is India and South Asia, with education given first place, so projects in schools and primary health there fit its work most clearly.
- Its annual report does not give a grant range, so there is no basis in the annual report for a typical request size, and the foundation should be asked directly what it would consider.
- No way to apply is published, so contact the foundation first to check that your project aligns with its short- and long-term objectives.
- It channels its work through key, vetted local partners and community leaders and gives priority to partners' existing primary and high-school programmes, so a project that works alongside an established partner sits most naturally with how it operates.
