Maji Patel Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated aims cover relief of hardship, support for orphans, food and clean water, Islamic education and worship facilities, and health and education resources, so a small charity should first check whether its work fits one of these.
- The annual report shows 11 named grants to organisations, and about 8 in 10 fall between £10,000 and £33,500, with a median of £20,000, so a typical request in that band matches what it has given; the largest named grant was £55,000, and a further £88,600 went in grants the report does not itemise.
- No geographic focus is stated, although the annual report shows grants mainly in India, City of London, Yemen and Bangladesh, so that pattern should not be read as a limit on who may apply.
- No way to apply appears in the annual report or its register entry, and the sources say nothing about timing or how competitive the funder is, so a short written enquiry is the sensible first step.
