Screwfix Foundation
The funding is intended for both national and local charities across the UK so that they can fix, repair, maintain and improve properties and community facilities specifically for those in need (by reason of financial hardship, sickness, disability or other disadvantage or distress) in the UK.
Due to the very high number of applications received each quarter, Screwfix will give priority to the following projects:
- Where Screwfix is funding the project in full.
- Where the project will directly benefit people in need and will have a lasting impact.
Grants of up to £5,000 are available. Funding needs to be spent within 12 months from receipt of payment. Registered charities and not-for-profit organisations based in the UK (including specialist not-for-profit schools) can apply.
The funding is for projects which improve a physical building (or land attached to it) that is used by people in need. The funding is to be used for the following types of projects:
- Improved energy-efficient lighting and heating
- Installation of new kitchen, bathroom, etc.
- Installation of a sensory room.
- General painting and decorating.
- Improving the safety and security of a building.
The application windows are:
- 11 November to 10 February for the March meeting, with a decision by 30 March.
- 11 February to 10 May for the June Trustee meeting, with a decision by 30 July.
- 11 May to 10 August for the September Trustee meeting, with a decision by 30 September.
- 11 August to 10 November for the December Trustee meeting, with a decision by 30 December.
