Small and local charities in England and Wales led by and working with d/deaf and disabled people can apply for unrestricted grants through this programme, to support them to have more choice and control over their lives, access their rights and entitlements, and challenge the barriers they face.

Applications can be submitted for three-year unrestricted grants of up to £75,000 (£25,000 per year). 

To be eligible, applicants must be led by the communities they serve and deliver person-centred services that meet the individual needs of the Disabled people who are supported.

Your organisation’s annual income must also be between £25,000 and £500,000.

This year, the Foundation expects to make 41 grants across England and Wales.

The closing date for application is 5pm on Thursday 4 September 2025.

Applicants will hear from the funder by 12 December 2025.
