Deadline:
The Charity awards grants totalling approximately £25 million each year to up to 1,000 organisations and charities throughout the UK for initiatives and projects that address social inequality and economic disadvantage.

Applications can be made for revenue funding (projects, core costs) and capital expenditure (building, equipment).  Priority is given to work with groups experiencing social and/or economic disadvantage (people with disabilities for example) and to work that tackles problems in areas of high deprivation (those that fall within the bottom third of the National Indices of Deprivation).

For details of the main categories for which grants are made, and the type of work that is prioritised for support, go to What We Fund page.


There are no deadlines for these grants, but the Trustees meet four times a year in March, June, September and December to consider grant applications.
