PH Holt Foundation: Resilience Fund (UK)
Deadline: Ongoing
The PH Holt Foundation has announced the applications for the Resilience Fund to address the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic upon charities already supporting vulnerable or disadvantaged communities in Merseyside.
This is a one-off grant fund available to eligible organisations with a track record of delivering successful and effective programmes, and who can demonstrate how their funding will make a difference to their work.
The main purpose of the Fund is to support small and medium sized charities who currently may be struggling between funding periods, or who are experiencing difficulties accessing resources because of the pandemic, and where a grant from the Foundation would make a significant difference.
The Fund can also assist established charities who are considering the challenges ahead and are looking to respond by adapting to a different way of doing things. In general, the Foundation expects the bulk of support to cover an organisation’s core expenditure, including salaries and day to day running costs rather than time limited new programmes. This is not an emergency grant programme.
