Aims/priorities: Hilden provides funding to organisations which demonstrate charitable purposes and awards grants to projects both in the UK and in developing countries.
In the UK, most funding goes to registered charities. Overseas projects will either work with a UK charity or show relevant legal status.
The aim of the Fund is to address disadvantage, notably by supporting causes which are unlikely to raise funds from public subscriptions. Both the UK and overseas fund policy is directed largely at supporting work at community level.
Who can apply? The following groups may apply:
- Registered charities.
- Charitable companies.
- Community Interest Companies.
- Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs).
- Excepted charities.
To be eligible for UK funding, charities that are registered and operating in the UK must:
- Have a project that meets the Foundation's priority areas.
- Have an income (from all sources) of less than £250,000 in the last three financial years.
- Be able to demonstrate UK charitable purposes.
- Have adequate insurance and safeguarding policies and procedures for your service users, volunteers and employees, including DRB screening if necessary.
- Hold less than 12 months spending in cash reserves.
Grant amount: Grants 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: Friday 7 July 2023, 4pm.
