Funding opportunity

Cardfactory Foundation relaunches Community Fund with larger grants

The cardfactory Foundation has relaunched its Community Fund, moving from 50 grants of Β£5,000 to 25 unrestricted grants of Β£10,000 each. Applications open on Monday 22 June.

The change reflects a deliberate shift towards fewer but larger awards, with the Foundation citing the ongoing financial pressures facing charities as the reason for increasing individual grant values.

The fund is open to registered UK charities with an annual income of less than Β£3 million. To be eligible, organisations must work within at least one of three priority areas, providing support to:

- families experiencing financial disadvantage
- those facing sudden hardship and crisis
- and vulnerable children and young people.

Grants are unrestricted, allowing recipients to direct funding where it is most needed, whether towards frontline delivery or operational costs.

Applications will be submitted through a single-stage written process hosted on the Foundation’s website. The Foundation has designed the process with applicants’ time in mind, aiming to make eligibility clear before organisations commit to applying.

Funded charities will be asked to provide a light-touch impact report after 12 months, rather than detailed financial reporting.

The cardfactory Foundation has stated that the Community Fund will continue to evolve in response to feedback from charities and communities.

Further information, eligibility criteria and application guidance are available on the cardfactory Foundation website.
