Torus Foundation offers small grants to charities, community groups and local organisations who are delivering vital work in Torus communities.
All applications must support one or more of the Foundation's focus areas that benefit Torus tenants and residents, and those living within Torus neighbourhoods:
- Employment and skills
- Financial inclusion
- Youth services
- Health and Wellbeing
Grants of up to £5,000 are available to apply for. Please speak to a member of the Fundraising Team about specific funding limits for projects, deadlines for applications and eligibility criteria including delivery within specific geographic areas.
Please note, applications will only be accepted from small charities and not-for-profit companies with a total income of less than £500,000 and with less than 9 months operating costs held in reserves. Due diligence checks will be completed for all applicants. Statutory Agencies such as the Police and Local Authorities are not eligible to apply, however, the Foundation will consider requests from local schools and Children’s Centres.
Funding decisions are made by the Community Investment Fund Panel made up of Torus tenants.
