Key takeaways

Standing Voice's stated priority is Africa, and its grants support organisations or services that promote the wellbeing and social inclusion of people with albinism through health, education, welfare and community development, so a request fits best if its work clearly serves those people.
Its annual report gives total annual giving of £47,447, which may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is published, so a modest request is the safer starting point.
No application process is published on its annual report, register entry or website, so the sensible first step is to contact the charity directly.
Its grants go mainly to collaborating organisations, though it may fund independent organisations where the alignment with its objectives is clear, so the approach seems relationship-led.
Be ready to show robust financial reporting and accounting, strong safeguarding, finance and procurement policies, a proven implementation record, and compliance with relevant regulations.
