Major Grants

Our preference is for front line organisations working directly with families in need. We are unlikely to support campaigning, fundraising, organisational development or capacity building. We will consider projects which are a logical extension of existing work. We do not support work which represents a significant shift away from the existing core aims and track record of an organisation.

Who and what we fund: *Charitable organisations (including CICs, social enterprises, not-for-profit registered companies and voluntary organisations) in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. *UK based small to medium sized local organisations with a demonstrable track record of success working to address local issues in communities of extreme urban deprivation and deprived rural districts. *Revenue costs including core costs, salaries, running and project costs.

Single year grants between £10,000 and £100,000 for core costs, salaries, running and project costs or Multi-year grants for a maximum of 3 years, not to exceed £100,000 in total over this period, for core costs, salaries, running or project costs.

Organisations should have a focus on Family Support, this may further include: *Early intervention. *Families coping with addiction. *Prisoners' families.

We fund voluntary sector organisations with a turnover up to £1 million.
