The Peek Vision Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Foundation's stated focus is eye health, including eye-health research, training and technology, and its objects extend worldwide, so a small nonprofit working in those areas may fit.
- No application process is published, so the most sensible first step is to use the contact shown in the annual report to ask whether it considers unsolicited requests and what size it would look at, since no grant range is published and its annual giving of £159,418 is the only size guide.
- Its clearest published route is the scholarship, but that is for individuals: applicants must be optometrists, ophthalmic nurses, ophthalmologists or eye care managers from, or working in, a low or middle-income country, have at least three years' experience in eye health and be fluent in English, and the scholarship window closed in August with no later date given.
- Research grants go to selected organisations to help develop Peek's software and data platform, so an organisation whose work does not involve that platform is unlikely to fit that route.
- Competitiveness and the weight given to existing relationships are not described, so a short, specific enquiry is the cautious approach.
