King Charles III Charitable Fund: Coronation Food Project

Overview

They recognise there are many amazing organisations working hard to reduce food waste and food insecurity across the UK. The Coronation Food Project grants programme provides funding opportunities to eligible organisations, as part of our efforts to drive innovation, collaboration and expansion in support of the Project’s overall aims.

Applications to the grants programme must demonstrate how the funding would be used to address one or more of the following:

• Reduce levels of food waste
• Improve mechanisms to deliver surplus food to re-distribution charities
• Address underlying causes of food poverty
• Improve access to nutritious food for the most at need groups

As well as seeking out innovative ideas which could change the way we think and do things in the future, they will also support charities in need of funds just to keep doing more of what they already do well.
