HMD Charity Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your project fits best if it falls within the funder's stated themes of food aid, water projects, medical aid, education, disaster relief, shelter and construction, or Islamic faith projects, since work outside these is less likely to match its purposes.
- Gambia is named as a priority, but the stated geographic focus is anywhere in the world, so a project elsewhere is not ruled out.
- The annual report gives one total of £335,476 paid, which may include grants to individuals, and it states no grant range, so there is no published typical size to aim for; ask the funder's contact what size of request it considers.
- No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so get in touch through the contact shown before writing a full application, and do not assume a deadline or cycle.
