The Venik Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Trust's stated purposes centre on relieving children and adults with facial disfigurement and other disabilities, and on acceptance education for parents and others, so work in those areas is the clearest fit.
- Its annual report shows grants to organisations as well as individuals, linked to disability, humanitarian work, treatment and financial hardship, with a stated focus on the Russian Federation, especially orphanages, and on people in need elsewhere in the world.
- No way to apply is published and no grant range is stated, so a short written enquiry setting out the need and how it matches these purposes is the only realistic first step, and you should not assume an open call exists.
- The latest annual report shows annual giving of £851,926, but gives no typical grant size, so base any request on your own costs and keep it specific.
