Grants of up to £2,000 are available to charities, housing associations, schools, and social services that support individuals and families across the UK in financial need. The Cosaraf Charitable Foundation’s Hardship Grants will support individuals and families who have exhausted all other funding sources and are struggling with everyday costs, such as basic living expenses, household items and utilities, work- or education-related expenses, or rent arrears. Priority will be given to the most financially excluded people, families over individuals, those with caring responsibilities, and items that will make the most difference to the individual/family’s long-term future. The Foundation distributes both Zakat and Sadaqah funds.  Sadaqah funds are available for all people of all faiths and none.  Zakat funds are only available for Muslim applicants. Applications can be made at any time and are assessed every six weeks. Grants to Support Individuals & Families in Need (UK)
