The Hilden Charitable Fund aims to address disadvantages, notably by supporting causes which are less likely to raise funds from public subscriptions or statutory sources. Their main areas of focus are asylum seekers and refugees and penal affairs.

The fund offers small grants of £5,000 to £7,000, with a preference for smaller established organisations with an annual income of no more than £250,000.

They wish to help support asylum seekers and refugees by integrating them into the community, and aid prisoners, especially women, with coping, maintaining family bonds, and successful resettlement post-release.  They also welcome applications for post-release projects to reduce reoffending.

Grants can be unrestricted project or core funding.

Application must be made online, following an eligibility check.  Access to the form is only given if you are eligible.  

The closing date for applications is 3pm on Thursday 11 July 2024.

Decisions should be advised by late September/early October 2024.
