Rolling deadline

The Clothworkers Foundations Open Grants Programme funds capital costs that support the infrastructure needs of small- and medium-sized charitable organisations working with disadvantaged and marginalised people and communities.

The foundation prioritises funding to organisations that are led by, or fully integrate in their decision-making, people with related lived experience, and to projects that allow organisations to make a big change to their reach, impact, or sustainability.

The size of grant awarded will depend on a number of factors, including the size of your organisation and the cost and scale of your capital project. They do not fund projects of £15,000 or under for organisations with a turnover of more than £2 million. This means organisations with a turnover of more than £2 million cannot apply for a small grant.

Please read the information carefully before taking the 

To be eligible to apply, both your organisation and your project must be eligible – Eligibility Quiz.

Funding is available to organisations operating in the UK that are:

1. UK-registered charities, or organisations that are able to demonstrate their not-for-profit status and with appropriate asset locks (e.g. CICs without share capital and Community Benefit Societies).
2. With an annual turnover of less than £10 million if applying for a grant of more than £15,000 (a ‘Large Grant’).
3. With an annual turnover of less than £2 million if applying for a grant of £15,000 or less  (a ‘Small Grant’).
4. You must be able to demonstrate that the work of your organisation fits within one or more of our Programme Areas below, and that at least 50% of service users benefiting from the capital project are from one or more of those groups.

Eligible organisations will be given a unique URL at the end of the quiz, directing you to a page with information on the relevant application and instructions for beginning your application. You will not be able to create a new account or start a new application without completing the quiz.
