The Foundation’s focus is on funding specific groups that experience marginalisation and/or discrimination and currently make grants through seven funding programmes.
The Foundation focuses on work which will make a lasting difference to people’s lives rather than simply alleviating the symptoms or current problems; is aimed at reducing isolation, stigma and discrimination; encourages or enables unpopular groups to share in the life of the whole community.
A significant proportion of your beneficiaries should be from one or more of these groups:
Who can apply
The Foundation funds registered charities and organisations which are not charities but which seek funding for a charitable project such as constituted voluntary groups or Community Interest Companies.
Your income must be less than £100,000 if your work relates to a relatively local area such as a town, village or small community.
Your income must be less than £250,000 of your work covers a wider area such as a county, regions or country-wide.
Applications received until early April, are likely to be considered in the lead up to the Trustee meeting in June 2025.
