Aims/priorities: The Julia and Hans Rausing Trust has set up a Charity Survival Fund, in response to ongoing concern about Covid-19’s economic impact on charities. The Fund aims to provide core funding to offset lost income in the current financial year.
Applicants must have an annual income below £5m and have lost or be forecast to lose income due to Covid-19. Charities which have already received Covid-19-related funding from the trust are not eligible.
Who can apply? The fund is open to UK registered charities that have a beneficial area within the UK and actively operate across one of the three areas prioritised by the trust. These are:
- health and wellbeing,
- welfare and education,
- arts and culture.
Grant amount: The size of the grants on offer range from £1,000 to £250,000, with the aim of supporting approximately 200 charities across the country.
Application process: Application form available from website
Deadline: 5pm on Monday 27 July
