Besiyata

Besiyata is a registered charity in England and Wales, established in 2017 as a charitable company (no. 10866656), with a core mission to advance education for people of all ages worldwide. Governed by a standard charitable constitution, it pursues this through trustee-led grants and scholarships to organizations and select individuals, emphasizing broad access to learning opportunities across diverse contexts. Its generalist, inclusive approach lacks narrow thematic focuses, age or subject restrictions, or a publicized theory of change, reflecting a low-profile ethos centered on flexible educational philanthropy without operational project involvement.

The funder supports a wide array of educational initiatives, from programs and scholarships to general organizational grants that enhance learning outcomes, regardless of beneficiary background or prior attainment. There are no specified exclusions within education, enabling global impact aligned with its objects.

Eligible entities encompass any educational organizations with no income, size, or geographic restrictions—support spans England, Wales, and internationally. Besiyata does not accept unsolicited applications, operating invite-only via trustee discretion on a rolling basis with no deadlines, online forms, or published guidance; grantees are proactively identified and approached.

Typical grant amounts are undisclosed but reflect modest annual activity, likely in low-to-medium ranges for project or program support, excluding non-educational purposes, core costs details, or capital specifics. Distinctively, its trustee-directed, non-publicized process and absence of impact case studies or strategic priorities set it apart as a purely grant-focused, adaptable funder prioritizing wide-ranging educational opportunity over niche or high-visibility interventions.
