Windle International
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Windle International's stated themes are education, vocational training and capacity building for refugees, internally displaced people and host communities in conflict-affected settings, so a small nonprofit should apply only if its own work sits clearly within those themes.
- Its annual giving was £260,000 according to the annual report, and no grant range is stated, so ask about typical amounts before setting a figure.
- Kenya, Uganda, Somalia and Rwanda are listed as priorities, which signals where it focuses rather than a limit on who can apply.
- No application process is published, so begin with the contact shown on its website, and ask how funding flows to operational members, since they receive support directly rather than through the Secretariat.
- The only dated windows given are for the DAFI Kenya scholarships, which close on May 24, and UNICORE, which closes on April 15.
