Deadline: 4-Oct-22
If you’re an organisation in London tackling the root causes of poverty and inequality and your work fits one of their seven funding programmes, then Trust for London would love to hear from you.
Funding Programmes
They have seven funding programmes:
- Good Homes and Neighbourhoods
- Better Work
- Decent Living Standards
- Shared Wealth
- Pathways to Settlement
- Stronger Voices
- Connected Communities
Funding Information
- There is no minimum or maximum size of grant and the amount you request should be the amount you need. However, the average grant will be around £80,000 in total. A number of grants will be for a lesser amount, while some will be for more. They do not normally make grants that exceed £150,000.
- The amounts may be spread over one, two or three years. For example, if you are awarded a grant of £60,000, this could be £20,000 each year over three years, or £40,000 in the first year and £20,000 in the second. Most of their grants are over two or three years.
Who and what they will fund?
- They fund organisations undertaking charitable activities. You do not need to be a registered charity. They will support work which meets their funding programmes. This may be for a specific project or on-going costs.
- This includes staff salaries and overheads. They encourage organisations to include a reasonable amount of core costs to cover their overheads when they apply for funding. The majority of their funding is for revenue costs, though they can also fund small capital items.
What they do not fund?
They will not support applications:
- Which do not benefit Londoners.
- For work relating to deaf and disabled people that are not run by deaf and disabled people themselves. This means they will only fund organisations which have a majority of deaf and disabled people on their governing body (75%) and with at least half their staff members being deaf and/or disabled.
- That directly replaces funding for services which are the primary responsibility of statutory funders, such as local and central government and health authorities or subsidises services delivered through statutory contracts.
- For mainstream public services including schools and hospitals.
- From individuals.
- From organisations which have fewer than three people on their governing body e.g. trustee board/management committee. They would normally expect more than three on a governingbody.
- For the promotion ofreligion.
- From organisations seeking to distribute grants on ourbehalf.
- For work that has already takenplace.
- For general appeals.
- For large capital appeals (including buildings andminibuses).
- From applicants who have been rejected by us in the last 12 months.
