The Fidelis Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Foundation makes one-off, unrestricted grants to charitable organisations and to charitable projects run by other organisations, and only where the work reflects the values and interests of The Fidelis Partnership, so check that your work connects to those values before writing.
- No typical or full range of grant sizes is given, so ask for one sum tied to a defined project rather than a multi-year commitment, which it does not fund.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but no address, email or phone number for applications is published, so confirm how to submit before preparing one.
- Repeat funding is possible at the Foundation's discretion after an annual review, and staff are encouraged to champion charities they are involved with, so an existing connection may help.
- Individuals should not apply.
