Tibet House Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Tibet House Trust's stated aims are Tibetan Buddhism, Tibetan culture, poverty relief for Tibetans, Tibetan student education, and health and social care, so a project should sit clearly within one of these to fit.
- Its priority areas are India and Nepal, and it is not stated whether work elsewhere is ruled out, so a grant writer based elsewhere should ask before assuming.
- No grant range is given, so a request cannot be sized against typical awards; the annual report's figure of £337,515 for annual giving is the only indication of scale, and the register does not confirm it.
- No application process is published, so the contact shown on its pages is the route for a first enquiry, and the charity says it regularly appraises new opportunities for direct charitable expenditure.
- Organisations whose work falls outside its charitable objectives should not apply, because it does not fund expenditure that is inconsistent with those objectives.
