The Hilden Charitable Fund has reopened its UK funding programme and is now accepting applications. The fund is offering grants ranging from £5,000 to £7,000. It focuses on two key areas: supporting asylum seekers and refugees by integrating them into the community and aiding prisoners, especially women, with coping, maintaining family bonds, and successful resettlement post-release. They also welcome applications for post-release projects to reduce reoffending. Eligible applicants include registered charities, charitable incorporated organisations, community interest companies (limited by guarantee), charitable companies, and excepted charities. The application deadline is 3 p.m. on July 11, 2024, and decisions are typically made within 10 to 12 weeks. Hilden Charitable Fund Re-Opens its UK Funding Programme (UK)

It offers small grants of between £300 and £3,000 to charities and charitable projects in deprived areas of the UK that are unpopular or do not receive widespread public attention. This could be due to negative focus within the media, difficulty accessing funding, political controversy, or the issue is not typically seen as a charitable cause. Examples of these types of groups or causes could be asylum seekers, ex-offenders, sex workers, LGBT+ and people experiencing violence or abuse. The programme will primarily support small organisations (annual income up to £300,000), with most grants under £1,000. The closing date for applications is the 1st August 2024.
