Localgiving Foundation

The Foundation funds a broad range of charitable work, including poverty relief such as baby banks and fuel poverty support, children and young people's services like after-school programmes, family support including crisis intervention and carer respite, community development activities fostering social cohesion, and digital enablement for mental health counselling or disability inclusion. They particularly favour grassroots, community-led initiatives over larger entities. Their support is available to organisations throughout the UK, with a priority on small, locally-focused groups.

They accept applications from registered charities, community interest companies, and both registered and unregistered community groups. Priority is given to small organisations, especially those with modest incomes, and newly established groups. The Foundation supports work benefiting people experiencing poverty, children and young people, families, disabled people, and those with mental health needs. There is no religious restriction, and they welcome applications from local groups across the UK.

They have a generalist approach with no thematic exclusions and consider applications across all charitable causes. No specific types of work are excluded from consideration.

The Foundation welcomes unsolicited applications and provides grants for charitable activities. Their funding style focuses on equipping small grassroots groups with digital tools and streamlined access to reduce barriers.
