The Foundation does not make grants to individuals

Size of grants

The grants are relatively modest. Single, one-off grants range from as little as £500 up to £15,000. Grants repeated for more than one year vary from about £500 per annum up to £5,000 per annum, for a maximum of three years.  

Size of applicant organisation 

To make sure that grants of this size have an impact the Foundation will not fund larger organisations.  If an organisation works in a relatively local area – a village, or estate or small town - to be eligible it will have an income of less than about £100,000. At the other end of the spectrum, an organisation which works across the whole of the UK will be eligible if it has an income of not more than about £250,000.
