Zaimah

• Zaimah's stated focus is relieving poverty and sickness anywhere in the world, through emergency aid and longer projects such as clean water, food, education, orphan care, shelter and mosque construction, so a request that fits one of these themes is the place to start.
• No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so the sensible first step is to use the contact it shows and ask how to apply, rather than sending an unsolicited full proposal.
• The annual report gives one giving total of £280,003, which may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is stated, so there is no typical request size to aim for; ask what level of request it would consider before setting a figure.
• Nothing in the annual report or on its website shows how competitive Zaimah is or whether it works mainly through relationships, so treat first contact as the way to learn that.

• Grants paid, year to 31 December 2021; year to 31 December 2022; year to 31 December 2023: grants to institutions, as reported on the charity register (Part B).
• Grants paid, year to 31 December 2024: the accounts do not say whether this is grants awarded or paid.
