A World Without Barriers
At a glance
Key takeaways
- A World Without Barriers mainly exists to advance the Islamic Shia religion and to relieve poverty among people of that faith, with education and orphan welfare as its main work, so a small nonprofit should approach it only if its project clearly fits those themes.
- The annual report records £2,576,809 paid in its most recent year, but no grant range is stated, so there is no published basis for setting an amount and it is sensible to ask the contact before naming a figure.
- No application process is published, so the realistic first step is to get in touch to check fit, timing and what it will consider, rather than sending a full application cold.
- Its priority countries are Iraq, Afghanistan, Liberia, Morocco, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Senegal, the United Kingdom and worldwide, so a project in one of those places is worth naming in that first contact.
- Nothing available shows how competitive it is or whether relationships matter, so a short, clear enquiry is the safest approach.
