21st April 2023Nationwide Building Society Community Grants – 2023 Dates Announced
Funding for projects which address the housing problem across the UK.
Housing-focused charities in the UK will soon be able to apply to the annual community grants program from Nationwide Building Society, focusing on:
- Preventing people from losing their home.
- Helping people into a home.
- Supporting people to thrive within the home environment.
This year, the awards have increased in size, meaning that grants of £10,000 to £60,000 are now available. Nationwide will fund between 50% to 100% of the total cost of a project.
Registered charitable organisations can apply, providing they have been running for three years and have an annual income of at least £25,000.
The fund can support core costs (up to 20%), staff costs, small-scale capital costs, activity costs and development and capacity building costs.
Applications are reviewed, discussed, and voted on by a regional Community Board made up of Nationwide members and colleagues who live and work in the 11 regions of the UK. The funded projects will also get community and volunteering support.
There is a cap on applications to preserve a success rate of approximately one in four, which means 25% of those who apply within each region will receive funding.
Applications open on 25 April 2023 and close on 26 May 2023 (1pm)
