Funding Opportunities
Iron Projects
The Ironmongers' Company supports Iron projects for the restoration of historic ironwork or creation of new decorative work in iron and steel. As part of its charitable activities, the Company works to promote the craft of ironwork. Support is given primarily for the conservation of historic ironwork or the creation of new decorative iron or steel work. Applications are accepted from registered charities, churches and schools for projects in the UK only. The Company prefers to fund entire projects, or specific elements of a project. The majority of grants awarded are under £5,000. Grants are paid on completion of the project and must be claimed within eighteen months of the date awarded. For church bells projects, only the repair/rebuilding of existing iron framesides, or the provision of new framesides cast in iron, will be considered.
Ironmongers' Company Grants to Charities
The Ironmongers' Company wishes to support projects that provide opportunities for disadvantaged children and young people to fulfil their potential. The grant program is looking for projects that deliver clearly defined educational benefits to a specific group of children or young people. Projects could, for example, support special educational needs, or foster social, emotional or life skills. Preference will be given to projects piloting new approaches where the outcomes will be disseminated to a wider audience. Grants range from £3,000 up to around £10,000, with preference given to requests where the grant would cover a significant element of the project costs (at least 50%) and to applications from smaller charities. Grants must be spent within twelve months from the date of the award. Recipients are expected to submit a written evaluation report within three months of the completion of the project. The Committee meets twice a year to review grant applications, in March and November.
