The deadline for the fourth application round of 2025 is Tuesday, 30 September 2025.
The Austin and Hope Pilkington Trust operates a 3-year grant rotation system, with different areas of interest funded each year. Round 4, 2025 has just opened to applications for projects that benefit refugees and/or asylum seekers in the United Kingdom.
To be eligible, a project must focus exclusively on refugees and/or asylum seekers as its beneficiaries, without extending services to other groups. The Foundation won’t fund salaries for charity staff unless specifically employed for the project concerned.
