Key takeaways

Together We Learn's stated work is education for disadvantaged children in Ethiopia, covering student sponsorship, school construction, teacher training and girls' education, so a group whose work sits close to these areas has a clear point of fit.
Its stated geographic focus is Ethiopia, with the United Kingdom also named, and the annual report gives no grants figure or grant range, so nothing published shows what size of request would suit it.
No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, and the only contact shown is for getting in touch, so a short enquiry is the sensible first step rather than a full proposal.
Its published material does not say how competitive it is or whether it makes grants to other organisations, so confirm that before writing a detailed request.
