Taawon UK
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Taawon UK names Palestine as a priority, along with refugee camps in Lebanon, so work in those places, delivered with local communities or local partners, is the clearest fit.
- Its published focus is development and capacity building, humanitarian relief and Palestinian arts and heritage, and it says projects are developed from needs assessments and delivered by its field staff or local NGOs, so a proposal that shows community need and a local delivery route will suit it best.
- Most of its grants are modest: about 8 in 10 of its grants to organisations fall between £7,900 and £300,000, with a median of about £14,500, though its largest grant was about £555,000, so a request in the lower range is typical rather than a limit.
- No application process is published, so get in touch through the contact given before writing a full proposal, and ask about timing, which its published material does not cover.
- Its annual report says trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's public-benefit guidance when choosing projects, so frame your work in those terms.
