Grants between £10,000 and £20,000 are available from the Asda Foundation for projects with one or more of the following objectives:
Repair and Maintain Community Spaces
Projects that involve essential repairs or maintenance to ensure the facility remains safe, functional, and able to serve the community effectively. This could include critical work such as boiler replacement, roof or window repairs, or necessary refurbishments like replacing worn carpets to maintain a safe and welcoming environment.
Expand and Improve Community Spaces
Projects aimed at enhancing or adapting spaces to better meet the needs of service users. This may involve improving accessibility for all, upgrading facilities to make them fit for purpose, or re-configuring areas to accommodate more users and activities within the existing footprint.
Eligibility:
- Registered Charity, Community Interest Company or Community Benefit Society, registered for at least 3 years.
- Your organisation should own the project site, if not you must have a fully signed lease between the landowner and your organisation, with at least 3 full years remaining.
- You must be applying for a grant of £10,000 – £20,000 that will wholly fund your project. You may contribute up to £20,000 of your own funds to the project, but these funds must already be in place.
- Annual income of between £40,000 and £400,000.
- No more than 6 months operating costs in unrestricted reserves.
Please note that the funder only expects to award around 70 grants throughout the UK, so the competition will be serious.
