Grants

One of Beaverbrook’s greatest legacies, the Beaverbrook Foundation was set up under his direction as a grant-making organisation structured to monitor and continue gifts after his death. Funds are distributed to many areas, often focusing on charities and causes that reflect Beaverbrook’s own interests. Over 870 different charitable organisations have received grants over the last 60 years.

Application Criteria

The Beaverbrook Foundation makes charitable donations based on the following criteria:

Donations can be made for capital expenditure, i.e. to acquire or upgrade physical assets such as buildings, fixtures and fittings, machinery, furniture and other equipment; for revenue/running costs; and for special projects.
The trustees will not normally consider grants to cover expenditure that has already been incurred or committed.
The Trustees promote the concept of match funding, and may make a payment conditional upon the applicant obtaining the remaining funding from other sources.
The Trustees are able to make grants to all faith organisations, and are not willing to discriminate against any charity due to its focus on race, nationality, sexual orientation or age.
Grants are made, at the discretion of the Trustees, for charitable purposes including those that would have reflected the interests of the first Lord Beaverbrook.
We only accept applications for donations from registered charities.
