Funding: 


Allen Lane Foundation 

The Foundation is interested in funding work which benefits people in the following groups, or generalist work which includes significant numbers from more than one such group:

  • Asylum-seekers and refugees (but not groups working with a single nationality)
  • Gay, lesbian, bi-sexual or transgender people
  • Gypsies and Travellers
  • Migrant workers
  • Offenders and ex-offenders
  • Older people
  • People experiencing mental health problems
  • People experiencing violence or abuse

There is a 2 stage application process. 

Applications take between 2 and 6 months to process fully 

The grants are relatively modest. Single, one-off grants range from as little as £500 up to £15,000.

Grants repeated for more than one year vary from about £500 per annum up to £5,000 per annum, for a maximum of three years.

To make sure that grants of this size have an impact the Foundation will not fund larger organisations.

The Foundation will make single grants, or grants for two or three years.
