FOMA Grants

Through the Charitable Trust Fund, FOMA makes small grants, normally up to £1,000 to any one organisation in any one year, for a variety of projects in Malawi where we believe our contribution can make a difference. Grants are usually oriented toward social, educational and healthcare projects but we will consider any project that will improve the welfare of Malawians or further the objectives of the Association.

FOMA has funded over 275 projects since 1990, totalling over £250,000.  Our projects page  includes examples of organisations that FOMA have recently supported. 

FOMA has recently reviewed the grant programme. For 2026, grant applications will be by invitation only. Further information can be obtained by contacting grants@foma.org.uk
