Ian McLintock, founder of the Charity Excellence Framework, has produced a very in-depth list of details and links to emergency funding for charities. These include UK wide, UK country, regional, global, Government financial support, specialist funding and platforms.
Ian McLintock has kindly contacted us to let us know that the list has now more than doubled in size and is being updated each Monday. The latest funder list and the 4 charity toolkits can be downloaded from the Charity Excellence website – www.charityexcellence.co.uk
There are also lots of free funding finders, funder lists and fundraising guides on the website.
The purpose of the Essex Coronavirus Response and Recovery Programme is to get help quickly to voluntary and community organisations that are in crisis as a result of the pandemic and need emergency funding to keep their vital services running.
Initially grants of up to £15,000 will be available. Priority will be given to those delivering vital services to older and vulnerable people, organisations helping to relieve pressure on public services and those co-ordinating a local community response.
Lloyds Bank Foundation (LBFEW) has opened applications to its grants for up to £45k and £100k.
LBFEW supports charities with an annual income of £25,000 to £1 million with a proven track record of helping people on a journey of positive change through in-depth, holistic and person-centred support with long term funding and tailored support to develop.
Charities can apply for grants worth up to £45k and £100k over three years that can be used entirely for core costs.
The Fowler Smith & Jones Trust (FSJ) is an independent Trust supporting a wide-range of charities and other organisations throughout Essex. The Trust aims to make a significant difference to Essex through supported projects.
Particular focus is on helping develop young people into better members of society through preventative intervention. There is also strong emphasis on other marginalised or disadvantaged members of the community eg the elderly, isolated or disabled.
The Trustees hold 3 grant-giving meetings p.a. There is no formal application form, as each request to the Trust is unique. There are no fixed criteria, and the application process is accessible and flexible.
Any potential applicant is encouraged to contact the Grants administration team to discuss the best way forward. This saves much unnecessary work on both sides.
The majority of grants fall between £1-5,000. There are also a few Capital Grants granted during the year (usually up to £25,000) for larger projects.
The Essex Learning Partnership Fund is the vehicle by which ACL Essex sub-contracts with other providers to complement and enhance its learning offer in Essex.
The Service is committed to supporting the VCSE sector to build its capacity to deliver learning opportunities to disadvantaged and hard to reach local communities and individuals across Essex especially in the more rural parts of the county, as well as the urban, suburban and coastal areas of greatest need.
Although ACL Essex highlights particular subject sectors and/or Essex districts they wish to target, organisations are required to evidence a local or county-wide need for the provision they aim to deliver when they apply for funds. This should take the form of demographic data and/or confirmation of local consultation to identify individual learning needs, and where applicable, the needs of local businesses.
The Tudor Trust is an independent grant-making charitable trust, funding organisations who support positive changes in people’s lives and in their communities around the UK.
There is no maximum or minimum grant, though it is unusual for a grant to be less than £10,000.
The programme supports vulnerable UK children and young people up to the age of 18 who are experiencing a crisis or emergency. They provide items that meet a child’s most basic needs such as a bed to sleep in, a cooker to provide a hot meal and other items or services critical to child’s wellbeing.
