The trade retailers Screwfix established the Screwfix Foundation in 2013 to support local projects that improve, repair and maintain homes and community facilities used by those in need in the UK.
More than a decade later, the Foundation continues to offer grants with money raised through staff fundraising and customer donations.
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.
The funding is to be used for the following types of projects:
Registered charities, Community Benefit Societies, Cooperative Societies and Community Interest Companies can apply as long as they have suitable governance to manage the fund and are supporting people in need whether by reason of financial hardship, sickness, disability or other disadvantage or distress.
Due to the very high number of applications received each quarter, Screwfix will give priority to where Screwfix is funding the project in full and where the project will directly benefit people in need and will have a long lasting impact.
Applications are considered quarterly.
The next deadline is 10 May 2026.
Grants of £100 are available for organisers of a 'Great Get Together' event, an annual celebration of everything that connects our communities.
Grants for registered charities, CICs and community benefit societies focused on arts, preventing/reducing the impact of poverty, supporting marginalised groups or supporting specific mental health issues.
Grants for charitable organisations working with young people across the UK, with a preference for projects that support young people with depression, mental health issues, or those confronting drug issues.
