Key takeaways

MIAT's stated themes, including poverty relief, disaster relief, medical care, education, food and water, and refugee support, and its worldwide focus, suit an organisation whose work matches one of those areas, but organisations whose work is party political or sectarian religious should not apply, as the Trust does not fund either.
Neither its annual report nor its register entry gives a grants total or a grant range, so a grant writer should not assume a size and should keep any request modest until the Trust has said what it can consider.
No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown on its website or in its annual report to ask whether an application is welcome before writing one.
Nothing published about its giving says anything about timing, deadlines or how competitive or relationship-led it is, so ask those questions directly.
