info.brewers.co.ukAbout Brewers Foundation
The Brewers Foundation is a family-led grantmaker, established in 2020 and linked to Brewers Decorator Centres. Its mission is to make a positive, lasting impact through practical philanthropy, strengthening social capital and making the world a brighter place. The Foundation operates with a responsive, inclusive ethos, prioritising visible community enhancements without narrow thematic limits. It supports communities across the United Kingdom by funding tangible projects that transform shared spaces and improve everyday wellbeing.
What Brewers Foundation funds
The Foundation funds tangible projects that transform shared spaces and improve everyday wellbeing. This includes capital improvements to facilities and community infrastructure. Distinctively, the Foundation blends cash grants with in-kind donations of paint and decorating materials, offering a straightforward way to achieve quick-win community upgrades. It focuses on projects with measurable, local impact, supporting work across England through practical interventions that enhance shared environments and benefit local residents.
Who can apply
Beneficiaries include registered charities, local authorities, voluntary bodies, grassroots groups, and small organisations delivering practical interventions. The Foundation supports both organisations and people/communities, with a preference for smaller entities. There are no religious restrictions, and unsolicited applications are welcomed. Applicants should be based in England and able to demonstrate local roots and a focus on tangible community improvements.
What Brewers Foundation doesn't fund
The Foundation does not fund core costs or unrestricted funding. It focuses on projects with measurable, local impact rather than ongoing operational expenses. Applications seeking support for general running costs rather than specific capital or material improvements are unlikely to succeed.
How they like to fund
The Foundation offers cash grants and in-kind donations of paint and decorating materials. It favours projects with measurable, local impact and welcomes unsolicited applications. Funding is typically one-off and directed at specific capital improvements or material needs, rather than ongoing programmes.
