LIA Relief Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- LIA Relief Trust's stated aims cover relief from hardship and disaster, education, health, and support for Islam, its places of worship and its learning, so a small nonprofit should check that its project fits food, water, shelter, medical care, education, livelihoods or worship.
- The annual report gives £1,957,265 awarded, a figure the register does not confirm, but no grant range is published, so a sensible request size cannot be judged from what is available and should be raised with the contact first.
- Its stated priority is the United Kingdom, with worldwide work also described, so say clearly where your beneficiaries are.
- No application process is published, so start by getting in touch with the contact shown rather than sending a full application cold.
- Nothing published gives timing or competitiveness information, so ask about deadlines and how decisions are made at that first contact.
