£750 Million Boost For Charities

The latest announcement from the Chancellor included a much needed emergency package of £750 Million to keep charities afloat during these uncertain times. Chancellor Rishi Sunak also confirmed that charities and their employees are eligible for the government’s job retention scheme.

Tens of thousands of charities providing vital services will benefit from direct cash grants, to ensure they can meet increased demand as a result of the virus, as well as continuing their day-to-day activities supporting those in need.

Mr Sunak also announced that the government would match all donations from the public to the BBC’s Big Night In fundraising event on the 23rd April, pledging a minimum of £20m.

Keep up to date with the latest developments on this much needed support package, including how much funding charities will be entitled to claim and over what period, and how long it will be before the funding reaches charities accounts from the Charity Tax Group.

Standard Life Foundation: New Fast Track Grant Scheme

The Standard Life Foundation has opened a new fast track grant scheme in light of the Coronavirus, funding work that relates directly to the pandemic. The grant programme is for projects that can be started in the new few weeks and tackle financial problems and improve living standards for those on low-to-middle incomes in the UK. More information about their funding guidelines can be found here.

The Foundation anticipates that some projects may only last a few weeks or months, but that some may continue for longer. The Grants will range from £5,000 to larger amounts.

Existing grant recipients are eligible to apply, as are organisations who are already being considered for their current funding round. Organisations who have previously been rejected to receive funding can also apply.

Information on how to apply can be found on their Coronavirus funding page and applications should be submitted via email

London Community Response Fund: Wave 2 Has Opened

Wave 1 of funding from the London Community Response Fund has now closed to applicants and Wave 2 has opened. As of April 9th, two funding programmes are available with wave 2; the crisis response programme and the delivering differently programme.

The Crisis Response programme is for grants of up to £10,000 to enable organisations to meet the immediate needs of their communities, such as food and essentials and short-term staffing costs.

The Delivering Differently programme is for grants of between £10,000 and £50,000 to enable organisations to change the way in which they work to meet the needs of their communities under the lockdown conditions. This can be from switching to digital modes of communication, to redeploying staff to allow organisations to meet increased demand.

The Fund may consider grants above £50,000 but there will need to be a strong rationale in applications for this.

Guidance for how to apply for these grants can be found here, and the application page can be found here.
