The Latvian Welfare Trust
Key takeaways
- The Trust's stated themes are Latvian community life, Latvian culture, education and Latvians in need, so the work of an organisation in these areas, including Latvian weekend schools and welfare for Latvians in the UK or Latvia, is the closest fit.
- The annual report gives no usable grants total and no grant range, so it does not show what size of request the Trust makes; ask it before setting a figure.
- No application process is published, and the only contact is for getting in touch, so an initial enquiry is the sensible first step.
- The annual report and its register entry give nothing on timing, competitiveness or exclusions, so do not assume you are ruled out from any of these.
