Green Crescent Aid UK
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Green Crescent Aid UK lists poverty relief, child nutrition, emergency food relief, clean water, education and Islamic religious activity as its themes, so a small nonprofit whose work fits one of these should consider approaching it.
- The charity says it works anywhere in the world, but its stated priorities are Malawi, England and the UK, so a request should show a clear link to one of them.
- The annual report shows £1,359,406 paid out, but no grant range is stated, so size any request to the project itself rather than to that total.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact the charity shows for getting in touch and ask whether it takes approaches and how it wants them made, because neither the annual report nor its website says how competitive it is or how long decisions take.
