The Fine & Country Foundation’s Spring Grant Programme will open on 1st March 2024, offering charities both in the UK and overseas much needed grants to aid projects in the fight against homelessness and poverty. With two opportunities for charities to apply for grants each year, The Foundation have already supported many organisations across the globe over the past decade.
During the last of Grants, which was in Autumn 2023, 24 charitable projects were allocated funding, totalling £47,220. As with all the grants schemes, this spring Fine & Country locations worldwide are encouraged to submit applications, nominating a charity for a donation of up to £3,000. The Foundation board will carefully review the proposed applications, with successful projects being awarded grants. This funding provides crucial support to charities, enabling them to sustain their vital community work.
Following years of turbulence and unease in the world’s economy, impacted by factors such as the pandemic and global conflicts, The Fine & Country Foundation were proud to donate a phenomenal £144,198 to charities around the world in 2023.
Jon Cooke, Trustee of the Fine & Country Foundation, commented: “The donations and grants that The Foundation give, play a part in providing essential financial support to many non-profit organisations fighting against homelessness and poverty. Many of these organisations rely on donations to survive, and money they receive helps them to continue the vital work they are doing within their communities. The more donations The Foundation receives, the more charities and people we are able to help. Since its inception in 2014, The Foundation has raised over £940,000, which has made a huge impact in many communities. We are aiming to reach the £1 million milestone this year in celebration of The Foundation’s 10th Anniversary. Reaching this milestone will not be possible without the amazing effort and support of the network and generosity of the public who support our fundraising activities.”
Applying for a grant is simple, with Fine & Country agents filling out a document to nominate their chosen charity to receive a grant of up to £3,000. The Foundation will be accepting grant applications from Friday 1st March until Sunday 31st March 2024. The Foundation Board will then review all applications and decide on the successful projects. They will be notified in April, with funds donated in May.
