A small number of grants of up to £2,500 are available to UK registered charities to help individuals from the following beneficiary groups move toward paid employment:
- Ex-offenders.
- Recently homeless or vulnerably housed, and/or
- Young adults aged 16-24 years old not in employment, education or training (NEETs).
Grants awarded are likely to be both limited and probably quite a bit lower than the maximum grant level of £2,500.
Grants can be used to help charities become more financially sustainable, particularly where the grant is used for:
- Capacity building, including IT infrastructure and equipment.
- External consultancy and support, and
- Staff development and training.
Further information, guidance and an application form is available on the Foundation’s website.
The Foundation's application process is designed to be ‘light touch’ and not overly onerous for applicants.
