This grant-making foundation aims to address disadvantage by supporting causes which are less likely to raise funds from public subscription or statutory services. It is keen to support small organisations with a preference to fund those already established rather than new ones.
This year, a total of £400,000 is being made available with grants of between £5,000 and £7,000 per year for up two years.
The funding is for projects taking place in the UK that address one of the following:
- Asylum Seekers and Refugees - for organisations working to provide essential services which help meet the needs of asylum seekers and refugees and support their integration/participation in the wider community.
- Penal Affairs - for work "through the door" where charitable organisations go into prisons with projects and support to help prisoners (especially women) cope and/or maintain family bonds and to be better able to resettle positively when released. Post-release projects which support positive settlement, re-stablishing family bonds, and a reduction in the likelihood of re-offending are also welcomed.
Unrestricted grants or project funding is available. However, to be eligible for unrestricted funding all of an organisation's work must meet the Fund's criteria. All unrestricted grants must be used for charitable purposes.
Applications will be accepted from registered charities, Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs), Charitable Companies (registered both as a charity and a company) and excepted charities providing they have a total annual income of less than £200,000 in the last three years and are registered and operating within the UK.
The deadline for applications is 21 August 2025 (15:00).
