Canary Wharf Contractors Fund
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Fund's stated geographic focus is Canary Wharf, so a project based there is the clearest fit.
- Its purposes cover poverty relief, support for sick and injured workers and bereaved families, construction education, young people, ill children and their families, and community welfare and healthcare.
- Its typical grant runs from £5,000 to £27,500, with a median of £20,000 and a largest grant of £30,000, so a request in that range matches what it has given.
- Applications are rolling, and you send only a summary of your proposals, which are assessed against its criteria, particularly its charitable objectives, so tie your project directly to those purposes.
- The annual report says grants can go to individuals as well as organisations, so an individual may apply where the objectives fit.
