Since starting our Small Grants Scheme in 2009 The Foyle Foundation has awarded £13.4M (to December 2023) to small charities across the U.K. In 2024, the Foundation plans to award over £1M to small charities.
The Small Grants Scheme supports small charities with a turnover of up to £150K per annum, operating in the U.K. The scheme aims to support small registered charities especially those working at grass roots and local community level, in any field, across a wide range of activities (the Small Grants Scheme is not limited to Arts and Learning).
The scheme can consider applications towards core costs, projects, equipment and capital.
Please refer to the Small Grants Scheme guidelines for more detail on our funding priorities and exclusions.
