Registered charities that provide vital support to people and communities in need can apply for a £10,000 grant from the cardfactory Foundation. The goal is to address immediate needs while helping communities and individuals build long-term stability and resilience.
The funding is for organisations that are working in the foundation’s three priority areas:
- Families experiencing financial hardship: supporting families who are struggling to meet everyday costs such as food, housing, clothing and essential household needs
- People facing sudden hardship or crisis: helping individuals and families who need urgent support due to unexpected life events such as bereavement, illness, job loss or other crisis situations
- Vulnerable children and young peoples: supporting charities that provide safe spaces, practical support and opportunities that help children and young people thrive, particularly those facing disadvantage or instability.
You need to choose one primary priority area for your application but the funding is an unrestricted grant to support core operations.
Registered charities can apply. The foundation is particularly keen to support smaller, local charities where a £10,000 grant will deliver real impact.
Focus of fund/fund aims:
