Key takeaways

This funder suits projects that relieve poverty, care for the sick or support Catholic education, and its stated priority is the UK and Ireland.
The annual report gives no grant size or grant range, so a grant writer cannot judge a realistic request from the material available, and a modest, clearly costed ask is the safest starting point.
No application process is published, so use the contact shown to ask whether it accepts unsolicited applications before sending a full proposal.
Much of its stated spending goes to its own Congregation's missions and to its Sisters' healthcare, living costs and training, so an outside request may be a small part of its giving.
Nothing stated limits who should apply.
