Halifax Foundation for Northern Ireland – Community Grant Programme

The Halifax Foundation is committed to supporting underfunded, grassroots charities which particularly enable the disabled or disadvantaged to play a more active role in society.

The foundation has two main target areas in which it seeks to allocate funds:

  • Social and Community needs
  • Education and Training

Eligible Organisations

Only registered charities who have an income of less than £1 million in the previous year’s accounts, may apply. For registered charities with a headquarters based outside of Northern Ireland, the income of their Northern Ireland operation, shown in their management accounts, will be used.

Suitable Projects

Funding may be available for the following purposes:

  • Core costs
  • Materials and equipment
  • Salary costs
  • Volunteer expenses
  • Project costs
  • Refurbishment
  • Activities
  • Training
  • Disabled access
  • Transport Costs

Application Process

Important Dates

A rolling grant programme is in operation, and therefore an organisation can apply to the Foundation at any time.

Funding Range
