Humane World for Animals UK
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Humane World for Animals UK says it works with like-minded, not-for-profit organisations on animal welfare projects in the UK and globally, with the UK as its priority, so a small charity whose work is about animal welfare can reasonably consider it.
- Its annual report, register entry and website publish no application process and no grant range, so the contact shown on its website is the sensible first step.
- Its approach is partnership-led: it works with organisations that reflect its values and can deliver meaningful, sustainable impact, and it co-designs projects, monitors progress through regular reporting and shares learning, so a request should explain the project and how it would be reported on, not just ask for money.
- Its annual giving was £236,204 as reported in the annual report, so a small, clearly targeted request is more realistic than a large one.
- Organisations that are not like-minded not-for-profits, or whose work falls outside animal welfare, do not match its stated eligibility and themes.
