What We Fund

We fund charities that help create a better future for the people of Merseyside. 

To be considered, your activity should meet at least one of our priority themes:

 Creating opportunities for people to contribute to their local community

Enabling people to overcome barriers and take control of their lives

Widening access to education for people of all ages

Increasing engagement in the arts for marginalised or excluded groups

Encouraging care of the natural and built environment

Additional criteria trustees consider in an application:

Making Merseyside a better place to live

Encouraging self-help and resilience

Bringing positive change

Delivering strategic solutions

Grants range from £1,000 up to £20,000. The majority however, fall between £5,000-£10,000. These are normally for a single year, but we can consider a limited number of grants spread over the life of multi-year projects.  In special cases, we can also consider larger grants to a Merseyside appeal of major importance.
