Deadline: 5-Oct-21
The Friends Provident Foundation is currently accepting applications for its “Developing a Fair Economy Grants Programme”.
The programme focuses on how they can make a difference to the lives of the most vulnerable as this is where the flaws in the system are most obvious, not just in terms of poverty but also inequality.
Local economies that have the assets, understanding, tools and capacities to respond to changes in economic circumstances are important for strong communities.
Economic, social and environmental disruption in the UK and beyond is evidence that the way capitalism and financial systems operate is creating social disharmony and increasing inequality.
Funding Information
- The upper limit is £200,000 though they would expect any project applying at the top end of this scale to be able to demonstrate a very close fit with their programme aims.
- The budget can of course cover up to five years, on average most projects are 1-2 years long.
Criteria
- The Foundation will judge each project idea on its merits, but will take into account your track record of managing a grant with them and your ability to deliver results.
- The Foundation have a policy of full cost recovery. Costs must be proportionate and based on a clearly outlined methodology.
