The Foundation runs an open application programme for registered charities that meet its aims. Find out how to apply below.
The Foundation launched its open application programme in 2025 to enable more charities and community groups to access donations.
There are two rounds of funding, with a total of £300,000 available for distribution each year, in the form of six £50,000 donations. The first round opens in March, with three successful applicants selected in May. The second round opens in June, with three donations awarded in September.
Thank you to all those who took the time to apply to our June funding round. Unfortunately, we are unable to contact everyone individually to let them know the outcome of their application. The successful applicants have been informed and you can read more about them here.
Our next round of funding opens in March 2027. Please look out for further updates on this page.
