Key takeaways
- If your work is in Bangladesh and covers education, community development, democracy and civic participation, or sustainable livelihoods for disadvantaged children or communities, it matches the funder's stated focus.
- The funder will only support charitable organisations and community projects, and it does not normally fund general appeals, religious activities without wider public benefit, public bodies meeting statutory duties, animal welfare work solely, or grant-making by other organisations, so applicants outside those terms should not apply.
- The annual report shows £250,000 paid in total, but no grant range is published and no typical grant size is stated, so ask the contact what a realistic request would be rather than assuming one.
- No application process is published, so start by getting in touch through the contact shown, and frame the request around how it meets the charity's objectives, since trustees evaluate donations for that alignment.
- Neither the annual report nor the charity's register entry says how competitive the funding is or when decisions are made, so ask about timing when you make contact.
