The Caring Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited funding requests and works by invitation only, so an organisation that has not been invited should not send it an application.
- Its work fits charitable projects in the UK and Brazil on child poverty, domestic abuse, and reforestation and restoration, and it says it only works with projects in those two countries.
- Most of its grants fall between £9,200 and £285,000, with a median of £30,000, but its largest grant was about £335,000, so that band describes typical grants rather than a ceiling.
- It says it focuses its support where need is greatest, so a request should show clearly how the work meets a stated need in one of its three areas.
