Key takeaways

  • Rokpa Trust is most likely to fit a small nonprofit whose work sits in Buddhist-linked spiritual growth, humanitarian aid, Tibetan medicine and therapy, education, or relief of poverty, with a UK focus given as its priority.
  • The annual report gives no readable grants figure and no grant range, so there is no evidence on what size of request is realistic, and a grant writer should ask the trust before setting a figure.
  • No application process is published, so the practical first step is to use the contact shown on its website to get in touch and ask how it wishes to be approached.
  • There is nothing on timing or how competitive funding is, so the approach should be treated as exploratory.
  • No exclusions or eligibility conditions are given, so no type of organisation is ruled out, though a group working mainly outside the UK should check the priority UK focus before applying.
