Greenhall Foundation

Overview

Preference is given to appeals where the Foundation can meet a significant proportion of the funding required and to appeals where permanent equipment or building is required as opposed to funding salaries or the charity running costs.

Starting from March 1st, 2023, UK-based registered charities will have the opportunity to apply for grants ranging from £1,000 to £10,000 to enhance the lives of people facing social and economic challenges, particularly amongst the sick, elderly, disabled, and disadvantaged populations in the UK.

The Greenhall Foundation is providing the funding, which will support special projects or the purchase of specific equipment, rather than general operating costs or charity salaries. The Foundation gives preference to appeals where they can provide a significant proportion of the required funding.

UK-registered charities can also apply for the Greenhall Foundation's funding initiative to support overseas projects. The Foundation aims to create a positive impact in communities, and this funding round will be closed once the Foundation receives 150 applications.

The Greenhall Foundation has previously awarded grants to support several programmes aimed at enhancing the lives of vulnerable populations. These include funding for education programmes for individuals with disabilities, support for the elderly through the provision of daily nutritious meals, and mental health support for young people facing poverty, social isolation, and unemployment.
