Foyle Foundation's Small Grants Scheme is designed to support charities registered and operating in the United Kingdom, especially those working at grass roots and local community level, in any field, across a wide range of activities. School PTAs and Friend groups are not eligible to apply and they are unlikely to support newly set up charities without a track record.
Online applications can be accepted from charities that have an annual turnover of less than £150,000 per annum. Larger or national charities will normally not be considered under this scheme. They take into consideration your latest complete financial year, however, if you expect your turnover to exceed £150,000 in your current financial year, you are unlikely to be supported.
What the Foundation will Fund
Their focus will be to make one-year grants only, to cover core costs, projects, essential equipment or building projects.
Their priority will be to support local charities still active in their communities which are currently delivering services to the young, vulnerable, elderly, disadvantaged or the general community.
Grants of up to £750 are available from McCarthy Stone Foundation for small charities and community groups bringing together people over 65 at Christmas.
The Community Energy Fund (CEF) is a £10m grant scheme for urban and rural communities to develop energy services to benefit their local area.
Inspire Fund provides funding for projects that engage the public with the topic of dementia and the life-changing research going on into the condition.
