Leeds Building Society Foundation Grant Program for the UK
Deadline: 5 August 2019
The Leeds Building Society Foundation has launched its grant program to support the local projects and good causes across the UK, which relieve suffering, hardship or poverty.
The Foundation primarily provides funding towards practical items that directly support those in need including those with disabilities, affected by homelessness, or with serious health issues.
The Foundation is funded by Leeds Building Society and its members through the applicant’s Interest in theirs scheme. It is run independently by a board of six trustees who review applications every quarter.
Eligibility Criteria
The Foundation accepts applications from UK registered charities, or those affiliated with a registered charity.
Donations usually fund items of “capital expenditure”. That means items must directly help those in need, rather than contributing to the charity’s running costs.
The Foundation is unable to support:
- Religious, military or political projects
- Overseas charities
- Individuals (including sponsorship)
- Animal welfare projects
- Medical research
- General running costs, such as salaries, rent or utility bills
- General fundraising appeals
Applicants don’t need to have an account or mortgage with Leeds Building Society to apply for funding.
How to Apply
Interested applicants can apply online via given website.
