Key takeaways

Your work is most likely to fit if you are a grassroots NGO or like-minded partner in Albania, Moldova, Serbia, Bulgaria or Croatia, the countries named as priorities, and your work touches poverty prevention, modern slavery prevention, care leavers, Roma children's education or partner capacity-building.
The annual report shows £341,573 paid in the year it covers, but no grant range is stated, so ask what size of request suits before you set a figure.
No application process is published, and the funder describes identifying and working with like-minded organisations, so an introduction or a conversation about partnership is likely to work better than an unsolicited form.
Nothing published says anything about timing or how competitive funding is, so ask about both when you first make contact.
