The Sally Ann Raven Foundation
Key takeaways
- The Geographic focus line gives the foundation's area as the UK, and its objects suit registered charities that use animals to relieve hardship or improve quality of life for people affected by ill health, danger or disability, as well as work that prevents and relieves suffering among abandoned or mistreated animals.
- Its objects also cover farmworkers facing hardship from work-related ill health or injury after at least 25 years of UK farm employment, so a charity whose work falls outside these aims is unlikely to fit.
- No typical grant or grant range is stated, so check the annual report before setting any figure.
- Neither the annual report nor the register entry describes a way to apply, so look there for any contact details before preparing anything, and do not expect an open application round.
- At year end it supported nine animal welfare and animal-assisted charities and two agricultural welfare charities, a small group of grantees.
