Grant making

The trustees have reviewed and will follow the Charity Commission’s guidance on grants to non-charities and its publication ‘Charities: due diligence, monitoring and verifying the end use of charitable funds.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

policy on grantmaking;
policy programme related investment;
contribution made by volunteers.

The grant making policy is being developed and the projects and initiatives that will be supported will be based on criteria that support the CIO’s charitable objectives. For example, they must be:

operating within or part of the community surrounding community wildlife conservancies
minimizing negative environmental impact and promoting preservation of wildlife and sustainable land use.
meeting our ideals of sustainable community development through education, training and micro financing with encouragement given to projects that act to empower women and girls.

When making grants to organisations the CIO will make restricted grants only for activities, services or outcomes that will further its charity’s purposes for the public benefit. Where core costs are being funded, they will be limited to those specified activities, services or outcomes.

When making grants to individuals any private benefit will be incidental to the charitable purposes. The CIO will receive feedback on how the funds have been applied and this will be reported to donors.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

There were major challenges in the year 10/09/2020 - 14/08/2021 in registering with Charities Commission, HMRC and registering and opening a bank account.

All three of these delays were caused by the Covid 19 Pandemic, delaying our opening of the account, and of course this held back our ability to raise funds, plan our projects, action our work and distribute those funds accordingly.

During this time, we maintained protection of the habitat in Tanzania and in Kenya – total of 10,000 acres. We assisted with school fees through bursaries where possible and reduced human wildlife conflict through upkeeping predator proof cattle enclosures in Mara North Conservancy.
