Asda Foundation – Investing in Spaces and places Grant
The annual Investing in Spaces and Places Grant from the Asda Foundation is available for small, local groups in the UK to improve community spaces and places where local people can be together and thrive. Support is available for projects that address building repair, building development and outdoor development.
Applications are accepted from not-for-profit grassroots, community-led organisations in the UK, particularly ones that are:
- Located in an area of deprivation.
- Inclusive and encourage diversity.
- Tackling food poverty.
- Addressing local crime/anti-social behaviour.
- Promoting a positive environmental impact.
Applicant organisations must have an annual income below £100,000 and have a bank account in the group’s name. Additionally, applicants must either own and have full responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance of the building/space or have a lease of over five years and full responsibility for upkeep and maintenance.
A total of £1 million is available for 2024. Grants between £10,000 and £25,000 are available. Match funding is required for a minimum of 50% of the total project cost and organisations must have raised at least 10% at the time of application.
Organisations who received a grant in 2022 or 2023 cannot apply this year.
