Sanibel Foundation
About This Funder
Sanibel Foundation, registered as a UK charity in January 2010 (formerly Sanibel Psychological Therapies), advances well-being and positive mental health across England and Wales by addressing unmet needs in psychological support and community participation. Its distinctive approach integrates mental health interventions—such as therapy, psycho-educational programmes, coaching, and employability schemes—with healthy recreation through sport, particularly boxing, viewing physical activity as key to psychological resilience for all ages and backgrounds.
The foundation prioritises grants for projects advancing health, saving lives, and amateur sport, including workshops, employment access initiatives, boxing facilities/coaching, and inclusion programmes that improve mental health outcomes and foster community engagement. It supports both individuals and organisations delivering innovative, hands-on interventions, with a focus on therapeutic, educational, and recreational activities promoting inclusion and active lifestyles.
Eligible applicants are limited to UK-registered charities and community groups based in England or Wales, with a preference for small to medium-sized entities (typically under £1 million annual income); unsolicited applications are not accepted. Trustees proactively identify and select beneficiaries aligned with these aims.
Grants typically range from £1,000 to £10,000 (most £2,000–£7,500), covering project funding, core costs, programme delivery, and related capital items, occasionally larger for multi-year efforts. Funding is awarded ad hoc via trustee meetings with no public deadlines or application process, distinguishing Sanibel through its flexible, needs-led strategy at the nexus of mental health, sport (especially boxing), and employability—excluding misaligned activities while emphasising transparent, impactful support.
