We regularly update this page with available funding from Idox-Grantfinder and other sources we think might interest the organisations we support.

Please see funding opportunities with deadlines below: 

Henry Smith Foundation - Maternity Equity Fund

The Fund focuses on reducing avoidable harm and unfair maternity inequities during pregnancy and birth, with an emphasis on preventative, community-based support before issues escalate. While postnatal support may be part of an organisation's wider work, any award from this round must be used for preventative project costs only.

Grants totalling £185,000 are available across the round. Each award is structured as £61,600 in year one and £61,700 in years two and three. The Foundation expects to make around 35 awards. Recipients must allocate at least £2,500 to £5,000 of their grant each year to staff wellbeing, depending on the size of the organisation.

Eligible applicants include UK-registered charities and Charitable Incorporated Organisations, Community Interest Companies that are not-for-profit with an asset lock, and other not-for-profit charitable organisations whose work aligns with the Foundation's strategy. Applicants must have an annual income between £20,000 and £1.5 million, based on their most recent published accounts.

Projects must take place in the UK and focus on communities experiencing the greatest maternity inequities, including marginalised communities and communities in areas of highest deprivation, including rural areas. Applicants must also demonstrate experience of supporting communities affected by maternity inequity, with appropriate safeguarding, community trust, lived experience involvement and an understanding of trauma-informed and culturally-safe support. Partnership applications are welcome.

The flexible funding can be used to support delivery costs, staffing, supervision, training, wellbeing support, community engagement and other costs directly related to the work.

A live webinar will be held on 2 September 2026 (13:30 to 14:30). Registration is required and can be done via the Henry Smith Foundation website.

All the relevant documents are available now on the Henry Smith Foundation website.

There is a two-stage application process.

Expressions of Interest open at 9am on 3 September 2026 and close 14 October 2026 (17:00).

The Gardens Trust

Grants of up to £10,000 are available for volunteer groups across the UK to help seed-fund projects that will improve, enhance, and support historic designed landscapes

The Gardens Trust's Community Grants Programme will support both capital and revenue costs related to historic designed landscape projects. Priority will be given to:

• Seed-funding or pump-priming for a sustainable activity, such as a restoration plan, Friends Group set-up costs, research project, or volunteer training schemes.
• Applications that reflect the Trust priorities around conservation, knowledge sharing, and encouraging participation and enjoyment of historic landscapes.

Preference will be given to smaller charities and projects where a grant can have more significant impact, and projects that will be sustainably completed within 18 months of the application.  Deadline 16 October 2026.

Stef and Philips Foundation

Is offering grants of up to £2,000 for organisations working to support individuals and families living in emergency or temporary accommodation in London. 

Funding will support projects that aim to enrich people's lives, improve their health and well-being, or offer opportunities to realise their potential.

Eligible costs include:

• Essential items for home or family life.
• Training and education.
• Recreational trips for children.
• Community projects that promote social inclusion and welfare.

To apply, groups must have an annual income of less than £1 million and have unrestricted reserves that are less than 30% of their income level. 

There are typically three funding rounds per year. Deadline 31 October 2026.

The Henry Smith Foundation

Offers grants for recreational trips in the UK, Isle of Man or Channel Islands for children up to and including 13 years old who face financial hardship, systemic inequity or disability.

The Foundation offers this funding to help children who experience inequity and/or are disabled to go on fun trips. Priority is given to fun and new experiences, such as camping, adventure activities, or visits to the seaside.

Youth groups and UK-based, non-profit groups (with an organisational income below £2 million) and schools in the UK are eligible to apply.

Priority will be given to projects that will benefit disadvantaged and disabled children in the most deprived areas in the UK, based on the National Indices of Deprivation. For groups of children with disabilities, more flexibility will be given regarding the level of deprivation.

Grants between £500 and £3,000 are available for either a day trip or holidays up to seven days in length. This could be to a countryside or city location, but must be outside the children's immediate locality. Day trips should not involve a disproportionate amount of time spent travelling. 

Applications should be received at least six weeks before the date of the trip to allow for administrative processing and decision making.

Applications are currently being accepted for holidays taking place between 1 October and 31 December 2026.  Deadline 19 November 2026.
