The Foyle Foundation Small Grants programme
The Foyle Foundation will complete its grant giving programme in 2025, marking 25 years of giving to the fields of the Arts, Learning, Community Small Grants, State Schools Libraries and formerly Health. The current round of the Foundation’s Small Grants programme will be the final ever round of the scheme as it winds up its grant-making activities.
The Foundation’s Small Grants programme offers grants of between £2,000 and £10,000 to UK registered charities with an annual income of under £150,000 working at a grassroots level within local communities, particularly those that are providing services for:
- Children and young people.
- People who are vulnerable, marginalised and disadvantaged, and
- The elderly/older people.
Projects that support the general community will also be considered.
Applicants will be expected to:
- Evidence that their organisation is financially secure over the next 12 months, and
- Demonstrate how a grant from the Foundation will make a significant impact on their work.
Grants, which must be spent within 12 months of an award, can be awarded for core costs or essential equipment, to enable ongoing service provision, building costs, or for the delivery of online digital services.
