Bernard Sunley Foundation have three levels of grants.
They fund capital projects, with project costs between £10,000 and £5 million. This is open to charities with an annual income of under £10 million.
The funding categories are: community, education, health, and social welfare.
The types of projects supported are those that make a positive contribution to their neighbourhood and create a sense of belonging. These projects provide greater opportunities for families, the elderly, young people and children to get involved in sport and social activities. Churches are considered if their improvements benefit the wider community. The community funding areas are:
The Foundation supports learning experiences and life skills for children and young people, particularly for the disadvantaged, those with disabilities or special needs. Trustees are keen to encourage young people to experience the outdoors and to try new pursuits. The education funding areas are:
Trustees fund projects that provide an excellent standard of care and support in their communities. These include the creation of modern facilities for those suffering from a range of illnesses such as cancer, mental health or neurological conditions. They also include developing amenities such as gardens and outdoor spaces that provide relief and sanctuary for patients, their families and carers. The health funding areas are:
The Foundation pledges grants to assist the most vulnerable in society such as those seeking help with addiction, homelessness, ex-offenders and victims of domestic and sexual abuse. The social welfare funding areas are:
Local registered charities and not-for-profit organisations can apply for grants of up to £5,000 for projects which improve a physical building (or land attached to it) that is used by people in need.
Unrestricted grants and training for small charities to develop their organisations to tackle health inequalities. Organisations led by and supporting the most disadvantaged communities are encouraged to apply.
One-off grants are available for UK registered charities who are providing home-starter packs for people in need to move into their home.
