Deadline: 26-Aug-22
The Leeds Building Society Foundation’s Small Grant Program is now open for applications to fund projects that support those in need of a safe and secure home.
Themes
They want to provide UK registered charities with grants to support this new purpose, and they're looking to fund projects that fit within the following criteria themes:
- Sustainability
- Health
- Financial stress
- Accessibility
- Education and advice
- Security and refuge
Funding Information
Small grants (up to £1,000)
Eligible Projects
The list below indicates potential projects or organisations that may fit their purpose and criteria themes. This list doesn't include every option but should give a good idea of what they can fund.
- Sustainability – projects that help with fuel poverty, energy efficiency or climate action
- Health – projects that help those with health needs with housing, adaptations or advice
- Financial stress – projects that help with bills or debt stress
- Accessibility – projects that reduce loneliness, provide supported living services or adapt homes to make them safer for those with accessibility needs
- Education and advice – projects that support money management or provide advice services
- Security and refuge – projects that support emergency accommodation
Eligibility Criteria
- Your project must meet their purpose through one or more of their criteria themes.
- For their small grants, they only accept requests to fund capital expenditure. This means that they fund the purchase of items used to directly help those in need, rather than contributing to a charity's running costs.
- They'll only accept small grant applications from UK registered charities with a turnover of less than £1 million.
Exclusions
The Foundation is unfortunately unable to support:
- Religious, military or political projects
- Charities based overseas
- Individuals (including sponsorship)
- Animal welfare projects
- Medical research
- Administrative costs including salaries, rent or promotional materials
- General fundraising appeals
