*Update: due to an unprecedented volume of grant applications, the foundation are not currently accepting new applications*
How
Applications must be for specific services, activities, initiatives or projects with clearly identified measurable outcomes. For example, a strong application would state the number of people who will benefit from the grant, the number of hours (or similar) that will be delivered to each person and the expected measurable impact on that person. For example, how many people will receive training and how many are expected to enter education or employment as a result of the project.
How much
We generally award grants between £15,000 and £50,000. This funding will normally support a project that lasts no more than a year. A 12-month project costing £15,000-£50,000 is most likely to be successful in winning an award.
In the application form we ask to see a budget showing how much is needed and what it will be spent on.
When
There are no application deadlines. We aim to have approved or declined your request within 12 weeks of receiving your completed application. It could be much sooner.
We do not fund
- applications for grants from individuals
- applications from Community Interest Companies (CICs)
- applications for an organisation’s general running costs or overheads;
- religious organisations or religious activity;
- animal charities; or
- applications with any political activity (eg lobbying government or campaigning for a change in the law)
