Grants Criteria
Find out whether your project, fund or organisations is eligible for one of our grants.
What we DO fund
- Applications that get to the root causes of problems in our current economy.
- Applications that seek to remove blocks to change in the economy and financial system.
- Applications that are taking a systemic approach to tackle the impacts of the economic system on marginalised groups.
- Applications that are taking a systemic approach to address the negative impact of our economic system on the health of the planet.
What we DON’T fund
- Activities outside of the UK.
- Funding for individuals, general appeals, and employability/training programmes.
- Promotion of religion.
- Pure research (unless commissioned by us) or the rollout of existing ideas.
- Service delivery, such as new community centers, and activities directly benefiting employers or industry.
- Applications that focus on a singular sector of the economy or a single type of intervention/ economic alternative that on its own isn’t sufficient to bring about change. This means that we are unlikely to support applications focused on areas such as social enterprise, business support or employment.
- Applications that focus on the impacts of our system at the individual level – e.g. financial inclusion, relief of poverty, employment support or training.
Why we Say No
Projects may be theoretically eligible for funding but may be rejected due to quality concerns or other reasons outlined here.
