Naked Heart Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Foundation's stated geographic focus is Russia, and its eligibility section says it funds NGOs in Russia, so a small organisation working outside Russia is unlikely to fit.
- If your work is family support for children with special needs or disabilities, or autism research, it matches the Foundation's listed themes.
- It does not fund individuals, political parties, political lobbying or non-charitable activities.
- No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so contact the Foundation using the details shown there before preparing a full request.
- Its annual report shows £620,587 paid out in one year, but no typical or range of grant sizes is given, so keep any request modest and ask what size it would consider.
