Grants of up to £75,000 are available to charities and local authorities supporting people with disabilities.
The Wolfson Foundation funds capital projects that encourage independence, focusing on training, employment, and supported housing. The Foundation is especially interested in projects that assist the transition from children's services to adult services.
Grants are typically awarded for new builds, refurbishments, or equipment.
Projects should address at least one of the following aims:
- increased access to services for new and existing users
- improved quality and range of services
- improved future sustainability of the organisation
The Foundation is also keen to hear from organisations that may struggle to raise funds from the public.
If applicable, organisations should have at least a ‘Good’ rating from a regulator such as CQC or Ofsted.
Projects should include capital costs of at least £50,000, and have a shortfall in capital funding of at least £25,000.
Match funding is required for projects costing more than £50,000.
There is a two-stage application process. The deadline for stage one applications is the 5th January 2025. Organisations successful at this stage will have until the 1st March 2025 to submit their full application.
