U-GO University
At a glance
Key takeaways
- U-GO University's work fits if your organisation supports young women's access to higher education in the countries it lists, or in other developing countries.
- Its annual report gives total annual giving of £350,000, which may include grants to individuals, but the grant range is not stated, so no typical request size can be given.
- No application process is published in the annual report, register entry or website, so use the contact shown to ask whether an approach is welcome before you send a full proposal.
- You might frame a request around the $800 it cites as the cost of sponsoring a young woman for a year of university.
- Organisations whose work does not involve young women's university study are unlikely to fit.
