Key takeaways

  • Alliance House Foundation makes grants only to other charities whose aims align with its own, which centre on alcohol abstinence, alcohol education, harm reduction and alcohol research, so an organisation working outside these areas should not apply.
  • Its annual report gives annual giving of £353,841, but the grant range is not stated, so there is no published size to aim for and any request should be realistic and tied to its aims.
  • Any grant recipient must make the information it produces freely available to the general public and widely disseminated, so confirm that your project can meet this before you approach it.
  • No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so contact the address given to ask how to start, and be realistic that its giving goes primarily to one grant, the Institute of Alcohol Studies, which may leave limited room for new organisations.
