Morrisons Foundation

The national supermarket chain Morrisons has recently established the Morrisons Foundation to support local good causes across Great Britain.

Grants are available for new projects that groups would like to get off the ground but for which they have no funding.

The projects should benefit the local community and can cover a wide range of areas, particularly:

o Young people,
o Older people,
o People with disabilities
o Health and wellbeing, and
o Improving the local environment.

There is no minimum or maximum grant level. Funding is at the discretion of the Foundation. Previous grants have ranged from£5,000 to £20,000.

The Foundation is expected to launch its new website within the next few weeks. Once the new website is available, the application process will be online along with full details about the fund.

Currently, a Charitable Grant application form can be found on the old website. This can be downloaded and posted to the Foundation.

Registered charities in Great Britain can apply at any time. There are no deadines.

The following are not eligible for funding:

o For-profit organisation and projects.
o Retrospective costs.
o Projects which have already been started.
o Projects taking place in Northern Ireland.
