The Ironmongers’ Company offers grants to UK-registered charities aiming to support disadvantaged children and young people under the age of 25.
These grants are intended for projects that provide educational activities designed to develop learning, motivation, and skills, with the goal of helping these individuals fulfill their potential. Eligible projects must have clear aims and objectives, be carried out within the UK, and commence after specific dates set by the Company.
Grant amounts typically range from £3,000 to £10,000, with preference given to requests that cover a significant portion of the project costs, particularly from smaller organizations. The funds must be spent within twelve months from the date of the award, and recipients are expected to submit a written evaluation report within three months of the project’s completion.
To be eligible, applicants must be registered charities with an annual turnover of less than £1,000,000. The projects should not fall into excluded categories such as general appeals, replacement of statutory funding, medical treatment, or research projects. Additionally, the Company does not provide grants for general running costs, building work, or charities that are newly registered without three years of annual accounts.
The Ironmongers’ Company prefers to fund entire projects or specific elements of a project, and the majority of grants awarded are under £5,000. Applications are considered during specific application windows, and it is essential for organizations to check the eligibility criteria and application procedures carefully before applying.
This funding opportunity represents a valuable resource for smaller charities focused on educational initiatives for disadvantaged youth in the UK, aiming to make a meaningful difference in their communities.
