Huddersfield Town Foundation
About This Funder
The Huddersfield Town Foundation, established in 2012 as the official charity of Huddersfield Town Football Club by founders Dean and Janet Hoyle, harnesses the club's profile and reach to tackle local inequalities and boost social mobility in Kirklees, West Yorkshire. Its mission centers on using football's power to deliver inclusive, needs-driven programmes across four pillars: Learning and Education, Movement and Activity, Health and Healthy Behaviours, and Safe Spaces and Places. Rooted in values of inclusivity, aspiration, and sustained social change, it prioritizes children, young people, and vulnerable groups—addressing child hunger through 'Early Kick Off' breakfast clubs (serving over 2.5 million meals), educational mentoring, mental health support, social isolation for older adults via Sporting Memories, dementia projects, youth crime prevention, and employment skills for care leavers. While primarily delivering its own initiatives via partnerships with schools, agencies, and groups, it occasionally provides modest grants aligned with these themes.
Eligible partners are invite-only: UK-registered charities, community groups, or academic institutions based strictly in Kirklees (primary focus) or Calderdale. It favors small, grassroots organizations embedded locally, with no fixed income thresholds but a preference for those without large turnovers, mirroring its own £1.2m scale.
Grants are adhoc, typically under £10,000 for collaborative projects, with no open applications, deadlines, or portals—prospective partners must await Foundation outreach or express interest via the website. It excludes unsolicited proposals, non-local work, and activities outside its priorities, standing out for its football-brand leverage, direct beneficiary impact, community consultation, and role as a local collaboration catalyst funded by club resources, Premier League grants, and EFL Trust.
