Dakri Charitable Trust

The Dakri Charitable Trust, established in 2002, is a UK-based grant-making charity dedicated to relieving poverty and sickness, advancing education, and promoting the Islamic religion, both domestically and internationally. Guided by Islamic values of compassion, inclusivity, and public benefit, it seeks to alleviate hardship, support learning, and foster faith-based community initiatives through targeted grants, maintaining a consistent trustee-led approach focused on tangible impact for vulnerable populations.

It prioritizes projects in poverty relief for those facing economic hardship or illness; education, including training, learning resources, schools, and student support; and Islamic religious activities such as mosque funding, religious education, and community cohesion efforts. Beneficiaries include children and young people, the elderly, people with disabilities, and the general public, with funding for direct individual aid, UK charities, and aligned overseas organizations in health, welfare, education, and spiritual wellbeing—primarily in England and Wales, but flexible globally.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities with no specified income thresholds or geographic base restrictions, though support favors small to medium-sized, community-focused entities serving disadvantaged groups. Typical grants range from £2,000 to £20,000, drawn from annual expenditures of £100,000–£200,000.

The trust does not accept unsolicited applications, relying instead on trustee discretion via ad-hoc meetings with no published deadlines, forms, or guidance—approaches are not invited publicly. Distinctively, it blends welfare, education, and faith-based funding, supporting both individuals and organizations in a stable, ethically stewarded manner attuned to unmet needs among marginalized communities.
