We partner with small and local charities and communities working with people facing complex issues and barriers. Through unrestricted funding and support to develop, we work alongside those who understand the complexity of the issues people face or the barriers they experience and are best placed to make a genuine difference to people’s lives.
We work in partnership with charities and communities that understand the needs and aspirations of people and can make a lasting difference to their lives. We provide flexible, unrestricted funding and additional support to develop to help charities grow stronger and thrive beyond the lifetime of their grant.
Our focus is where our combination of funding and additional support can make the greatest impact on those we partner with. Our programmes aim to give charities the stability and freedom to use the funding as they best see fit.
Our next funding programme will open for applications in Summer 2026.
More and more people are living in England and Wales without a home. We want to ensure everyone in England and Wales has a good place to live, and are promising to put funds in the hands of the people that are best placed to make that happen.

We publish our grantmaking data using the 360Giving Data Standard to support open and standard data publication. To do this, the Foundation provides data to be used on tools like GrantNav, which allows anyone to search, explore, and download information about the grants it has given out.
