Applications are welcome from those who take a Housing First and/or relationship-based approach.
Small Grants of between £250 and £1,000 to charities anywhere in the UK that have a turnover of less than £1 million. The funding is to be used for projects that support those in need of a safe and secure home. Grants are only for capital expenditure (that is, to purchase items used to directly help those in need).
Large Grants of between £25,000 and £100,000 for charities with a turnover of £5 million or less who are based in or delivering work in Yorkshire and/or the North East of England. The grant can be a one year grant, or split across two or three years and can support new work or existing work and fund core, project and/or capital costs. The Foundation has introduced a two-stage application for large grants in 2025. The first step is to submit a short expression of interest.
