The Newstar Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated focus is any part of the world, and its giving centres on poverty relief, medical and food aid, education and vocational training, with particular attention to orphans and widows in developing countries and to people affected by disasters who need essentials and medicine.
- A project that clearly fits one of these themes is the strongest match.
- The annual report shows £276,550 paid out, but no grant range is given, so size your request to the project's costed needs rather than to a typical figure.
- No publicly published application process was found in the annual report or the register entry, so a short written enquiry to the charity is the only route the sources point to, and projects are reviewed by the trustees, so allow for that review.
- Nothing in the sources says how competitive funding is or whether existing relationships matter, and no exclusions or eligibility conditions are listed, so check that your project meets the foundation's charitable objects before approaching it.
