The Hedley Foundation Grants

The Hedley Foundation is an endowed grant giving charitable foundation which supports small to medium sized UK registered charities operating across the spectrum of social need.

The Trustees seek to help and improve the quality of life of people in the UK, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. This is achieved by making grants, within budget, to registered charities for the benefit of young people, disabled people, elderly people, the terminally ill and otherwise disadvantaged people and their carers.

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 18 months

When To Apply

• 26 January 2022
