Wimbledon Foundation

The Foundation funds projects that support better mental health, help people take better care of their physical health, and tackle social isolation. It also supports sport and physical activity engagement through its Get Set, Get Active Fund. Grants can cover project delivery, salaries, core costs, and equipment, but not capital works or events. Work must take place in the London Boroughs of Merton and Wandsworth, with priority given to local organisations.

Registered charities, charitable incorporated organisations, community interest companies, companies, trusts, community benefit societies, unincorporated associations, and community amateur sports clubs based in Merton or Wandsworth are eligible. Priority groups include children and young people, older people, disabled people, carers, LGBTQIA+ people, people from ethnic minority communities, unemployed people, and women. Individuals, local authorities, public bodies, schools, and for-profit organisations are not eligible.

The Foundation does not fund medical treatments, activities that have already taken place, overseas travel, political or religious activities, for-profit organisations, local authorities, public bodies, schools, colleges, or educational institutions. It also excludes capital works, events, and ongoing costs.

The Foundation welcomes unsolicited applications. Funding is typically for up to one year of activities, with multi-year support available under some programmes. It favours collaborative, sustainable approaches and values partnership.
