Key takeaways

LEOT funds education and community work in Laos, with a focus on disadvantaged students, rural school facilities and employment skills, so a project that fits those themes is the kind of work it supports.
It does not fund anything outside Laos, so organisations working elsewhere should not apply.
The annual report gives no usable grants figure and no grant range, so a realistic request size cannot be drawn from it, and any figure you propose should be agreed with LEOT first.
No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact details it publishes to ask how to proceed.
Nothing available shows how competitive or relationship-led its giving is, so approach it knowing that is unknown.
