Haberdashers' Aske's Charity
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your work is in Greater London or South London, which the charity names as its priority areas, and it fits education, enrichment, careers, leadership, pupil and staff wellbeing or SEND support, this funder is worth considering.
- The charity states that it funded 20 of 48 requests, about 41.7%, but that is a share of requests, not of money, and no grant range is published.
- No application process is published, so contact the charity first to confirm how to apply.
- Its Small Grants Programme opens in January, and it lists what to send: a link to your entry on the Charity Commission or Companies House website, your focus area and geography, your website, and a link to or copy of your latest annual accounts.
- Organisations that have had funding before may apply again, but trustees tend to fund for only three consecutive years.
