Asda Foundation’s new £400,000 Foodbank Fundamentals Fund has been set up in response to the continuing cost-of-living crisis across the UK.
Groups in the UK who distribute food and other essential items for disadvantaged members of the local community will have two weeks to apply for a grant of up to £750.
Applications will be considered from not-for-profit organisations who distribute food to the most disadvantaged in the community, such as food banks, community pantries, social supermarkets, soup kitchens and breakfast clubs.
For groups that have more than one branch or sub-group in the same community, Asda Foundation can only support one of these groups with an award.
Costs for the food bank or food service providers are supported.
Applicants are advised to apply early as the scheme may close early if demand for funding is high.
Applications will be accepted from 15 July at 10am to 29 July 2025 at 10am.
Funding is available for both project and core costs. Supporting work with people in trouble, particularly young offenders and ex-offenders, as well as other disadvantaged young people.
Grants of up to £10,000 are available for VCSE organisations to support the priorities in the Police and Crime Plan, including safer places and thriving communities.
This new grant round will support projects that enable people to access food, create opportunities for young people, improve people’s mental wellbeing, promote community cohesion and build sustainable futures.
