Grant Directories

The McCarthy Stone Foundation awards one-off grants to grassroots and volunteer-led charities and community organisations, CICs and social enterprises that support the wellbeing of older people, the educational needs of young people and the urban regeneration of communities across the UK. Through the Small Grants Programme, the Foundation provides grants of up to £5,000 for projects that will make a difference to those who need it most in local communities, particularly those recovering from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Nationwide Foundation aims to increase the availability of good quality, affordable homes in the places where they are most needed.  Through the Community-led housing  programme, the Foundation will support communities to build new homes, create homes from empty properties, protect existing decent, affordable homes and provide homes of all types of tenure.

People and Places will fund capital and revenue projects that encourage co-ordinated action by people who want to make their communities better places to live. The National Lottery Community Fund will support local and regional projects throughout Wales that focus on revitalising communities, improving community relationships, or enhancing local environments, community services and buildings. The local community must be involved in the design, development and running of the project. Funding is available for building, purchase of land, equipment, one off events, small capital projects, staff costs and refurbishments.
