How we can help

In previous years, the Hymans Robertson Foundation has been able to offer small discretionary grants to community based organisations.

We’ve done this during the pandemic and on our 5th anniversary. We support charities across the UK and we’re pleased to offer the Hymans Robertson Foundation’s Community Fund: a single year grant of up to £1,000 to small non profit organisations.

Why are we focussing on less than £100k income organisations?

We know that micro and small charities represent 80% of UK’s voluntary and community sector and recognise the funding challenge for smaller non profits. We’re seeking applications from organisations based in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and Birmingham. Unfortunately, we can’t consider organisations out with these cities.

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

Website Rebuild Bluegreen Reliable

Must be a constituted organisation

For example registered CICs, social enterprises or charities (OSCR, Charities Commission).

Website Rebuild Bluegreen Community

Must be aligned with the HR Foundation’s charitable objectives

For example, animal charities are unlikely to be eligible unless explicitly supporting people in need.

Website Rebuild Bluegreen Clock

Must have at least two years 'trading'

With appropriate published accounts and an annual turnover/income of no more than £100k.

Will draw down and use funding within a specific timeframe.

Our Fund is currently closed to applications.
