Goodwill Caravan
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Goodwill Caravan's stated work centres on refugees and displaced people, and its themes (emergency aid, shelter, legal aid, medical care, anti-trafficking protection, integration, and education and employment) show whether your work fits.
- Its stated priority geography is Europe, the Middle East and Northern Africa, which the charity presents as a priority rather than a limit on who may apply.
- The typical grants reported in the annual report have been between £2,300 and £66,000, with a median of about £16,000, so a modest request is realistic.
- No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, and the charity funds trusted partner organisations to deliver services on its behalf, so a short enquiry through the contact shown is a better first step than a formal bid.
