Lady Fatemah Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your work fits best if it improves health, education or sustainable livelihoods, and especially if it puts mothers and communities at the centre.
- The trust supports emergency relief, but its main approach is longer-term development, so a project that builds skills and income will sit more comfortably than one that only responds to a crisis.
- The annual report gives no grant range, so do not assume a size; frame your request around the cost of your specific project, and check the amount with the trust before you apply.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and trustees review appeals before approving a grant, so there is no deadline to plan around, but expect to report back on whether the grant objective was met.
- No exclusions are given, so any small nonprofit whose work matches these themes and regions can reasonably apply.
