Save An Orphan
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Save An Orphan makes grants to other UK registered charities that run emergency aid and relief on its behalf, so a small nonprofit that is not a UK registered charity is unlikely to fit its eligibility.
- Its stated focus is orphaned children, widowed families and the communities around them, and its geographic focus is anywhere in the world.
- Its annual report shows £813,324 awarded, but its grant range is not stated and the register does not confirm that scale, so a modest, specific request is the safer starting point.
- No application process is published, so contact the charity first using the contact shown on its website before writing a full proposal.
