Deadline: Ongoing Opportunity
The Rayne Foundation is pleased to announce the Refugees and Asylum Seekers Grant Programme.
Priority Area
- They prioritise work that:
- Creates significant new opportunities relating to employability, entrepreneurial endeavours and personal development for refugees and asylum seekers
- Supports the specialised mental health needs of survivors of torture and young unaccompanied asylum seekers. This complements our work in relation to children and young people’s mental health
- Uses the arts and creativity to build community between migrants and the wider community
Funding Information
- The Rayne Foundation funds project and salary costs of usually £10,000 to £30,000 per year for up to three years.
Eligibility Criteria
- They fund work that could change the way issues are tackled in our society and which could have lessons for others beyond the funded organisation. They want to support the people and organisations that are best placed to do this. They are open to receiving Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from voluntary, statutory, and for-profit organisations.
- They need to understand why our funding is needed, how the funding will be used to unlock and overcome barriers, and that the applicant organisation is committing funding and/or support in kind from its own resources proportionate to its capacity.
- Statutory organisations need to consider how a grant from us will enable transformation over and above delivering statutory obligations. For-profit organisations will need to show that charitable funding is necessary to enable transformative change. They expect statutory and for-profit organisations that receive our funding to work collaboratively with the voluntary sector.
Ineligibility Criteria
- They will not consider applications:
- For day-to-day running costs of local organisations or buildings
- For capital, equipment or vehicle appeal
- For medical research
- Exclusively focussed on campaigning and lobbying work
- For retrospective funding
- For endowments
- For individual use
- From organisations working or based outside the UK
- From organisations who have applied and been rejected in the past 12 months
