About this Funding:
Forte Charitable Foundation provides grants for voluntary sector organisations delivering family support services across the United Kingdom. These grants range from £10,000 to £100,000, with an annual maximum of £50,000, and can be awarded for project periods spanning one to three years.
Funding can be allocated towards core operational expenses, including salaries, running costs, and project-specific activities, with project costs limited to 50% of the total project budget. The foundation specifically targets organisations with annual incomes up to £500,000, prioritizing those working in the most economically disadvantaged areas – defined as the most deprived 15% of urban regions or 50% of rural areas, as measured by the Index of Multiple Deprivation.
The programme has a particular interest in supporting initiatives addressing complex family challenges, specifically:
- Early intervention programmes
- Support for families struggling with addiction
- Assistance for families of prisoners
Applicants who can demonstrate a track record of successful family support work are especially encouraged to apply. The application process involves two stages: first, completing an online Expression of Interest form, with successful candidates then invited to submit a comprehensive application.
Interested organisations are advised to consult the Forte Charitable Foundation’s official website for detailed programme guidelines and full application instructions.
