Allen Lane Foundation: Various Programmes

Our aims are to fund work within each of our funding programmes which:
 

  • will make a lasting difference to people’s lives rather than simply alleviating the symptoms or current problems;
     
  • is aimed at reducing isolation, stigma and discrimination, and;
     
  • encourages or enables groups that experience marginalisation and/or discrimination to share in the life of the whole community.
     

    Over a typical year, we make around 130-150 grants, to a total value of between £720,000 and £800,000.

The total amount we can offer is upto £15,000.  This can be over three years, two years, or a single grant.

However, most grants we make are for much less than this amount, with the average grant size being £5,000-£6,000.

We aim to help organisations to become sustainable, supporting running and core costs to enable them to have flexibility, security and longevity. We can contribute to project costs or salaries.
