Guerrand-Hermès Foundation for Peace
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Foundation's stated themes are peace, sustainable development, public education, and racial and religious harmony, so your work fits best if it sits within those areas.
- Its typical grants fall between £4,200 and £91,000, with a median of about £6,600, so a modest request in that range suits it; its largest reported grant was about £150,000.
- No geographic focus is stated, so the grants it reports in Colombia, Wales and Indonesia are not a rule about who can apply.
- No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so the contact shown for getting in touch is the route to use, and a short note on how your project contributes to its purposes and to grassroots change would be sensible.
- It describes selecting carefully chosen organisations, but how competitive its giving is goes unstated.
