If you have an idea or a proposal, please submit an application, and if we have any further questions or clarifications we will get back to you.
Through our grants, we are interested in supporting:
Foundation grants fall into two categories: under £10,000 and above £10,000. They can be towards running costs, projects, or equipment. The work can be new, continuing or a one-off initiative, but it must benefit current or former staff or volunteers within the Blue Light community with a sustainability plan post funding.
We make grants to a wide range of organisations:
We will not accept applications from individuals or from organisations whose project does not impact the Blue Light community.
You must have the following.
Our application process is now closed.
Please check back soon for details of when we will be accepting new applications.
Applications over £10,000 are decided on a quarterly basis. If you wish to make an application, you will need to do so before the corresponding date each quarter. Decisions will be made within 6 weeks of the deadline, and applicants will be informed thereafter.
Applications under £10,000 are taken to the Executive board. Decisions will be made at this level once a month, and applicants will be informed thereafter.
All funded activity must take place after you have found out whether the application is successful.
The Blue Light Card Foundation receives far more applications than it has funds to support. Even if a project fits within the criteria and priorities of the Foundation and a detailed assessment has been made, the Foundation may still be unable to provide a grant.
The Board of Trustees will not be obliged to provide an explanation to the applicant should their application be unsuccessful.
