Eligibility and Assessment Criteria

The Fund provides modest grant funding to non-profit organisations for initiatives that meet our funding criteria. (LINK) Our grant-making policy focuses mostly on non-profit organisations in the UK, typically in Greater London and the Southeast. Key eligibility criteria are shown below.

We will only fund UK-registered organisations that are:
•    Registered charities.
•    Community Interest Companies (“CICs”).
•    Charitable Incorporated Organisations (“CIOs”).
•    Community benefit Societies (“CBSs”).

In addition, the organisation must have:
•    Annual income of less than £500,000.
•    Been established for two or more years.
•    A skilled team of staff and/or volunteers.

Our strategic desire is to support non-profit organisations that target their help at young people, specifically those "Transforming young Lives". 

Grants are typically directed at defined projects or initiatives, not for general support of operations or facilities.

Funding will be considered for initiatives that meet some or all the following criteria:
•    Aims to build sustainable capacity in the organisation to deliver public benefit in the long term.
•    Can demonstrate positive social impact or put in place metrics to demonstrate such impact.
