Deadline: 6-Nov-23
EA Foundation is excited to announce the launch of a new grants round to improve the lives of disadvantaged communities around the world, with a particular focus on improving access to education and basic services, relieving poverty and promoting environmentally sustainable development.
Priorities
- Funding is open to UK-registered charities for projects, both internationally and in the UK, which align to at least one of our 4 funding priorities as follows:
- provide educational opportunities, particularly for disadvantaged individuals and communities
- improve access to basic services and infrastructure to disadvantaged communities, including but not limited to healthcare, clean water and electricity
- support people in reduced circumstances, without sufficient means, or those who are experiencing times of need thereby providing important support for the relief of poverty or other forms of disadvantage such as disability
- address environmental challenges and promote sustainable development, both and through the pursuit of the other key areas of focus.
Funding Information
- They have not specified any upper or lower limits to the budget, as they would like a realistic picture of the true costs of the work. However, based on their current giving trends to date, the grants approved have averaged between £20,000 – £50,000 for an average duration of 12-24 months.
Eligibility Criteria
- Primarily, they fund UK-based charitable entities. The following types of organisations are eligible to apply for funding:
- Registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)
- Charitable company, limited by guarantee
- Other UK Registered Charity
- Community Interest Company (CIC), limited by guarantee
- Currently they only routinely fund through UK-based organisations. If you are based overseas or are a private company, please contact them to discuss your work and proposal before applying. All eligible companies (as outlined above) must have an asset lock in their constitution which ensures that funds and any profit are ploughed back into the organisation.
Ineligible
- They will not fund the following:
- Work that has already completed
- Work that is the sole/main responsibility of the government (with exceptions as above)
- Scholarships, student fees or proposals that only benefit an individual
- Work that is not charitable
- One-off events
