Hedley Foundation – Grant

Posted on: October 13, 2022

Eligibility

We award grants to those charities that are able to demonstrate quantifiable outcomes to beneficiaries. Typically, grants of up to £5,000 are regularly made and occasional larger sums are given to charities where high impact can be achieved. Similarly, smaller charities often benefit from smaller grants of £250 upwards.
You should meet the following criteria:
  • You are a small- to mid-size UK registered charity
  • Your application is not for salaries, building construction, general running costs, transport, financial deficits or overseas projects
  • Your application is not on behalf of a church, museum or an individual
  • You have not received a previous grant from The Foundation within the last 2 years (or submitted an application which was unsuccessful within the last 12 months)

When to apply

The Trustees meet four times per year to review grant applications. These should be received in good time before each meeting and at least 6 weeks before the meeting date. The forthcoming meetings are as follows:

  • 02 November 2022
  • 25 January 2023
  • 26 April 2023
  • 26 July 2023

Tips to aid successful applications

The Foundation receives over 1000 applications per year of which around 250 are successful. As a guide, you should:
  • complete the application concisely
  • include a breakdown of costs showing how the grant would be spent
  • clearly state the anticipated outcome or impact, together with who and how many people would benefit
  • ensure your contact details are accurate, specifically email and contact telephone numbers
  • include a copy of your most recent Statement of Financial Activities showing income, expenditure and a Balance Sheet
  • include a copy of the charity’s recent bank statement showing the bank account number and sort code
