Aims/priorities: Hilden Charitable Fund, a grant-making organisation which aims to address disadvantage by supporting causes less likely to raise funds from public sources, is once again accepting applications after undertaking a funding strategy review earlier this year.
There are two funding programmes available:
- Asylum Seekers: For organisations working to provide essential services which help meet the needs of asylum seekers and refugees and support their integration into the wider community.
- Penal Affairs: For work "through the door" where organisations go into prisons with projects and support to help prisoners (especially women) cope and/or maintain family bonds and to be better able to resettle positively when released. Post-release projects which support positive settlement and reduce the risk of re-offending are also welcomed.
Who can apply? The following groups may apply:
- Registered charities.
- Charitable companies.
- Community Interest Companies.
- Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs).
- Excepted charities.
Grant amount: Will usually be in the range of £5,000 to £7,000 per year for up to two years.
Application process: Full guidelines and an online application form can be found on the Hilden Charitable Fund website. Decisions are expected within 10 to 12 weeks of submitting a completed application
Deadline: Application windows are as follows:
- Monday 3 October 2022 to 27 November 2022.
- Friday 3 February 2023 to 26 March 2023
