Grants for Good
Our first fund that invites charities, community interest companies and social entrepreneurs to apply to us directly for funding.
Double Match
Members and their immediate family members can apply for up to £2,000 in double match funding when they raise funds for charity.
Championing
Members can nominate small charities or local initiatives to receive a Championing Grant up to £500; or £1,000 if they volunteer for the cause.
Donation Match
For members that choose to donate their own money to charity, we match their charitable donations up to a maximum value of £2,000.
Grassroots Funding
A Grassroots application allows members to directly support an issue, cause or project that they are passionate about by starting their own project
