Key takeaways

  • Your work fits if it falls within the trust's stated purposes of education, poverty relief or the advancement of the Islamic faith, in the UK or overseas.
  • Its stated priorities are Baruch and the U.K., and these are described as priorities rather than limits, so a project elsewhere is not ruled out on the information given.
  • The annual report shows £336,336 paid out in its latest year, but it does not state grant sizes, so avoid assuming a particular amount and tie your request to your own stated needs.
  • The trust accepts applications on a rolling basis, but it publishes no address, email or phone number for them, so you will need to work out how to make first contact.
  • Trustees assess each application on its individual merits, against the applicant's needs and the funds available, so a clear, needs-based case is the strongest approach.
