Grant News
Registered charities, not-for-profit organisations, and schools/PTAs can apply for grants of up to £3,000 for projects that benefit their local community.
The funding is made available by the Ford Britain Trust to support a range of projects focusing on education, environment, children, the disabled, youth activities and projects that provide clear benefits to the local communities.
Applications will be considered from all locations in the UK. However, organisations based in Essex (including East London), Bridgend (including South Wales), Southampton, Daventry, Manchester and Liverpool - areas close to Ford locations – will be given priority.
Funding will support capital projects, such as refurbishments, as well as expenditures on items like furniture, equipment, or computers.
There are two types of grants to apply for:
- Small grants of up to £250. The small grants application will reopen on 1 December and close on 28 February 2026.
- Large grants for amounts over £250 and up to a maximum of £3000. The large grants programme is currently open and will close on 31 January 2026.
