The Jigsaw Network
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Jigsaw Network's themes of poverty relief, education and child welfare, citizenship and community development, and religious and racial harmony are the test of fit, and its stated focus is the UK and the world.
- A typical request would sit in the £10,000 to £135,000 band, where about 8 in 10 of its 18 named organisation grants fall, with a median of £20,000; its largest grant was £690,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- The charity publishes no address, email or phone number for applications, but says its trustees actively search for opportunities and consider solicitations, so approaching the trustees directly with a clear link to its themes is the route its annual report points to.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis but are reviewed at periodic trustee meetings, so a decision may take as long as the meeting schedule allows, and its timing is not stated.
