Key takeaways

This funder makes grants, in principle, only to organisations affiliated to the Sri Sathya Sai Global Council, so if your organisation is not affiliated, its stated exclusions mean you should not apply.
No grant range is stated, and the annual report gives no usable grants total, so a realistic request size cannot be judged from the published figures.
The one reported grant was £4,315 for flood relief in Sri Lanka, which is a single example rather than a typical amount.
No application process is published in the annual report, register entry or its website, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown to ask whether an approach would fit.
