We offer three main grant funds. You can apply to only one per year.

• General Applications Fund – open throughout the year to a wide range of local organisations.
• Training & Careers in Construction Fund – open all year for projects supporting skills, training, and careers in construction.
• Action Against Homelessness Fund – open once per year for charities tackling homelessness or supporting those at risk; dates are published each January.

Note: Applications of £2,000 and under will be offered a shorter application form.

Applications must be completed and submitted through our online portal. You will be asked to create an account and complete the relevant application form.

• The form will guide you step by step.
• You can save and return to it later.
• Once submitted, you’ll receive an email confirming your application reference ID.

Note: We recommend submitting your application at least 10 weeks before you need a decision.

After submission:

• Applications are reviewed by our Awards Officer, who may request further information.
• Trustees meet monthly to consider most applications.
• For the Action Against Homelessness Fund, shortlisting takes place within eight weeks of the closing date.
• You will be notified of the Board’s decision in writing.

Note: If successful, payment is normally made within two weeks of receiving your award confirmation.

All grant recipients are asked to complete a short Monitoring and Evaluation Form to share the outcomes of their work. You will receive a reminder by email once this is due.

You can reapply 12 months after your last award or rejection letter. Multi-year grantees may reapply during the final year of their current award.
