The trade retailers Screwfix established the Screwfix Foundation in 2013 to support local projects that improve, repair and maintain homes and community facilities used by those in need in the UK.
Local registered charities and not-for-profit organisations can apply for grants of up to £5,000 for projects which improve a physical building (or land attached to it) that is used by people in need.
The funding is to be used for the following types of projects:
Registered charities, Community Benefit Societies, Cooperative Societies and Community Interest Companies can apply as long as they have suitable governance to manage the fund and are supporting people in need whether by reason of financial hardship, sickness, disability or other disadvantage or distress.
Due to the very high number of applications received each quarter, Screwfix will give priority to where Screwfix is funding the project in full and where the project will directly benefit people in need and will have a long lasting impact.
Community groups across the UK can apply for grants to run standalone projects, events, or activity series that explore how data can improve local health and wellbeing.
Grants for clubs and groups to cover coaching qualifications so that more women are qualified to coach women and girls’ football, tennis and cricket at a grassroots level.
Mutli-year grants up to £50,000 to fund community based LGBT+ organisations who have excisting projects focused on sports or physical activites.
