MTO Shahmaghsoudi® – School of Islamic Sufism®
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated work is teaching Sufism through UK universities and other educational institutions, promoting inter-faith activity and providing community support, so a project in those areas is the clearest fit to check.
- Its annual giving totals £166,284 in the annual report, but that total may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is stated, so judge a realistic request against the specific project rather than any published band.
- The annual report, register entry and website publish no way to apply, so the sensible first step is to contact the charity directly before sending anything.
- Its stated priority is the United Kingdom, with elsewhere around the world also listed, and nothing available says how competitive or relationship-led its giving is, so treat an approach as exploratory.
