Latest news about grants for projects and organisations

Most of our grant-making budget for 2011/12 is already committed and we have several applications under consideration. Until further notice (likely to be early 2012) we are not accepting proposals or applications that have not already been discussed with a member of the grants team

We are an independent grant making trust that seeks to address financial poverty in the Lambeth area of London. We are always interested in applications for both

proven projects that provide opportunities for Lambeth residents facing entrenched financial poverty (as opposed to those who have temporarily fallen on hard times) to improve their circumstances and ultimately achieve financial independence (education, literacy, activities to widen young people's horizons, apprenticeships, training, employment, advice, mentoring, personal development etc) and

innovative or even risky approaches to tackling economic disadvantage for Lambeth residents.

In addition to Lambeth-based organisations we are always pleased to hear from organisations keen to replicate in Lambeth projects that have been successful elsewhere.

As a Foundation which exists exclusively for the benefit of individuals, our grants to organisations are solely a means of reaching those individuals. As such, we expect to be able to trace our grants to specific individuals – Lambeth residents demonstrably facing financial poverty - and to understand how the funded service or intervention has allowed them to move forward along the path towards financial self-sufficiency (or not).

We require all organisations that receive a grant to verify that their clients/service users benefitting from our grant are Lambeth residents who meet our financial eligibility criteria (find our more about this here)

We are much more concerned with quality than quantity in terms of numbers of people worked with.

Please note that our grants are targeted at specific individuals or groups of individuals that meet our criteria as opposed to, for example, whole-school or whole-community projects.

Next application deadline:
These are determined individually with each applicant.
