Npower Business Solutions Foundation Community Fund

The npower Business Solutions Foundation community fund is available for charities, community interest companies (CICs), and schools or other educational establishments that have been operating for over two years. Funding is not eligible for local authorities, including parish councils. The fund aims to support projects that improve the environment, strengthen community bonds, enhance local education, and improve places and spaces. To be considered, projects must clearly demonstrate environmental benefits, promote skills, and address social issues.

Administered by Charis Grants Ltd, the fund offers three levels of funding: up to £19,999, up to £39,999, and up to £100,000. There is no set deadline for applications, but funding panels are held quarterly, with the next ones scheduled for January 25, April 25, and July 25. Applicants must submit a two-minute video outlining their project, which doesn’t need to be high production quality. Projects must be completed within 12 months of receiving the funding, and if unsuccessful, applicants can reapply. For more information and eligibility details, visit the foundation’s website.
