Key takeaways

  • Indus Health Network UK accepts grant applications by invitation only and does not take unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered and the best route in is a relationship with the trustees.
  • Its stated purpose is healthcare in Karachi and other Pakistani cities, through equipment and services, healthcare skills and hospital expansion, so a request should clearly serve one of those areas.
  • No grant range is stated, and its reported total of £496,406 across 10 grants does not tell you what a typical request looks like, so make a modest, specific ask and check the amount with the funder first.
  • Overseas organisations must have charitable or not-for-profit status where they operate, and individuals must be in need of charitable donations, so organisations that do not meet these tests should not apply.
