Marist Sisters Generalate
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated aim of empowering vulnerable and marginalised people, through grants for projects that empower people in need, is the main test of fit.
- Its typical grants fall between £7,150 and £150,000, with a median of about £43,000, so a modest request is unlikely to look out of step.
- The material publishes no application process, and its one reported application came through a Sister administering a ministry and her Unit Leader, so a warm introduction through a Sister's ministry is the route it points to, and a cold approach has no described route.
- Expect due diligence, proof of receipt, and a full written report on how funds were used, which is always required for funds sent overseas.
- No exclusions are stated, but if your work is not in the countries and regions in its stated geographic focus, it is unlikely to match.
