The Weavers’ Company Benevolent Fund's principal aim is to support people in trouble, particularly young offenders and ex-offenders, as well as other disadvantaged young people. Preference is given to pump-priming new projects, especially those that are innovative and can serve as a model elsewhere.
Projects which fulfil the funding criteria are short-listed, then visited by a member of the Company. These assessment visits give our younger members in particular an opportunity to become closely involved in the charitable work of the Company, which may lead to a mutually beneficial relationship with its beneficiaries.
Priorities for funding:
The Weavers’ Company Benevolent Fund Organisations fund: UK registered charities and charitable incorporated organisations (CIOs). In exceptional circumstances we may support Community Interest Companies (CICs)
The Charitable Grants Committee meets in February, June and October of each year.
Small grants are available for local projects, activities and organisations that have charitable aims and that will be of real direct benefit to families.
Prosper are offering unrestricted small grants to charities and not-for-profit organisations. Grants can be used flexibly and can cover core or project costs.
Leeds Building Society are offering grants to registered charities, focusing on projects that address financial stress; security and refuge; and/or quality and suitability of housing.
