| Foyle Foundation |
| Funding available...
Funding for Learning, The Arts and through a Small Grants Scheme.
Who Can Apply?
UK Charities operating in the UK.
The Foyle Foundation makes grants to UK charities whose core work is in the areas of Learning, The Arts and through their Small Grants scheme.
Learning - The main priorities for support are:
- libraries, museums and archives
- special educational needs and learning difficulties
- projects that reduce overheads or which help generate additional revenue will also be considered
Arts - for applications that make a strong artistic case for support in either the performing or visual arts. The main priorities for support are:
- helping to make the arts more accessible by developing new audiences, supporting tours, festivals and arts educational projects
- encouraging new work and supporting young and emerging artists
- building projects that improve or re-equip existing arts venues (rather than construction of new facilities, although this will not be excluded)
- projects that reduce overheads or which help generate additional revenue.
Small Grants Scheme
The Small Grants Scheme is designed to support smaller charities in the UK, especially those working at grass roots and local community level, in any field, across a wide range of activities.
Applications are welcomed from charities with an annual turnover of less than £100,000 per annum.
The Foundation will make one year grants of between £1,000 and £10,000 to charities which can demonstrate that such a grant will make a significant difference. Demonstrating ongoing sustainability is also important, particularly if local authority or other regular funding has been lost.

| Climate Change Grant Fund |
Grants to encourage and stimulate small actions and exploratory work by third sector organisations in Wales to undertake projects that lead the way in tackling climate change.
Grants can be used to help organisations educate those who have not yet worked to combat climate change.
The Fund will distribute grants from £200 to a maximum of £2,000. Match funding is not required. The scheme can fund up to 100% of project costs.
Those applying to the scheme may want to consider actions that their organisation could take internally to combat climate change. Examples include initiatives that could be carried out in offices or premises, with staff, trustees or volunteers. External actions may also be funded, including those that could be taken with client groups or the wider community. Examples include exploring how climate change may impact the delivery of activities/services, giving a green dimension to core work.

- climate change awareness raising;
- encouraging positive behaviour change amongst individuals/communities;
- exploring and planning for the future impacts of climate change on the applicant organisation's activities and those it represents;
- expanding activities to help tackle climate change;
