KRF Development
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated work fits projects in education, cultural preservation, health care, environmental protection or economic development, especially for Tibetan communities, threatened Himalayan communities, and children or displaced, stateless or refugee people.
- Its geographic focus is any part of the world, with priority given to Tibet, Nepal and India, so projects in those places are the clearest match.
- No way to apply was found in the annual report, the register entry or the website, so a small charity would need to make first contact directly and describe its project and the sum it needs.
- Grant range is not stated, and the annual total of £1,004,005 may include grants to individuals, so the sources do not show what a typical organisational grant looks like; size any request to the project itself.
- Nothing in the sources says how competitive the funder is or how long decisions take.
