|Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|At Niko Nawe we ensure that there is proper
governance of the charity’s grant-making in
three ways.
(a) Through grant-making principles which
ensure that, even where there is donor or
funding
partner
involvement,
decisions
are ulGmately made collecGvely - by all
NINA’s trustees.
These principles, together with the
Gi\ Acceptance Policy and
Philanthropy Service
Agreements, clarify that funds given are NINA’s
asset, albeit with degrees of restricGon on
their use, and that, where they are involved,
donors can only recommend grants, and not
awarding them.
(b) Through published grant-making|
2
|criteria which set out the acGviGes the trustees|
|---|
|wish to support in furtherance of NINA’s|
|charitable objecGves. The criteria also include|
|acGviGes which the trustees do not wish to|
|support because they do not consider them to|
|be in line with NINA’s purpose. The trustees|
|accept that they will occasionally make grants|
|outside published criteria, however, in all such|
|cases, the acGvity supported will be charitable|
|in the|
|eyes of the law.|
|(c) Through grant-making processes which set|
|out how decisions are reached for awarding|
|grants from diferent types of funds at NINA.|
|Grant-making principles|
|The principles which underpin the trustees’|
|governance of the NINA’s grant-making, take|
|into account the scale and range of its grants|
|and strike a balance between proper oversight|
|of decision-making and responsive customer|
|service for both applicants and donors. The|
|principles are as follows;|
|(a) The Board of trustees has ulGmate collecGve|
|responsibility for all grant- making decisions|
|in line with NINA’s charitable purposes and any|
|restricGons agreed with donors and funding|
|partners. (b) Trustees may delegate certain|
|decision-making responsibiliGes to its|
|subcommiMees,|
|Board members or staf within its scheme of|
|delegaGon. Such delegated decisions are|
|subject|
|to scruGny and review from Gme to Gme by|
|NINA trustees.|
|(c)
NINA trustees reserve the right to apply|
|condiGons to any grant.|
|(d)
Trustees also reserve the right to|
|approve any recommendaGon or nominaGon if|
|they|
|(or those acGng with their delegated authority)|
|determine that the resulGng grant would not be|
|charitable or would confict with|

**OBJECTIVES AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF NIKO NAWE:**
Niko Nawe charity was created to prevent and relieve poverty among less privileged children, who are under the age of 18, living in East African countries (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi), by providing them with school fees, scholasGc materials, clothing and all the necessary support that is needed to prevent or relieve poverty, which they could not otherwise afford due to desGtuGon. As such, Niko Nawe has managed to run two projects in the past (one in Uganda and another one in Burundi) but not this financial year.
## **CHARITY ACTIVITIES:**
or carried out any charitable acGviGes as we have done in the past. The reason being, we wanted to reenergise our spirits and develop new and more effecGve strategies to rise funds and achieve more of our targeted charitable goals.
## **GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT:**
## **OUR MEETINGS:**
We conGnue hold our regular board meeGngs throughout the year. During these meeGngs, we discuss the previous, current, and future developments of the charity and a vote is always cast at the end of our discussions to decide on the direcGon we choose to take. Our previous meeGng in the financial year 05/04/2025 – 03/03/2026 involved reviewing our fundraising methods, highlighGng our prioriGes in terms of which beneficiary needs our help fast.
## **NEW TRUSTEES:**
We intend to appoint more trustees on board according to the needs of the charity. Whenever we a new trustee is appointed, we will make sure that they all undergo an orientaGon to enlighten them on their legal obligaGons under the charity law - operaGng under the guidelines of the charity consGtuGon, the decision-making process, the recent financial performance of the charity, the recent projects, and the future developments/goals. These new members will be encouraged to aMend external training events relevant to develop their skills and gain experience relevant to their roles and responsibiliGes.
