Asylum Seekers and Refugees
The Hilden Charitable Fund
Asylum Seekers and Refugees continue to face hostility, challenge and isolation which prevents them being able to fully integrate into society; and some face considerable levels of poverty due to being unable to work or use their skills. We want to support organisations and projects which provide essential services; which help meet their needs; and which support their integration within the wider community.
We do not fund individuals, only organisations. To be eligible to make an application your organisation must be based in the UK and be one of the following:
Registered Charity
Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)
Community Interest Company (CIC) (NB must be limited by guarantee, not by shares)
Charitable Company (NB you must be registered both as a charity and a company)
Excepted Charity (see Excepted charities - GOV.UK for more information on these)
To be eligible to apply, your total annual income as shown in your most recent accounts should be no more than £250,000.
If your income is above that in your latest accounts but your average income over the most recent three years is under £250k then you can still apply – this is to allow for one-off “good” years.
We are keen to support small organisations and our preference is to fund those already established rather than new ones (though these are still eligible).
