Funding Opportunities
People in Later Life and Their Carers Funding Programme
The Rayne Foundation has been funding organisations supporting care for people in later life since 1962. This programme focuses on projects and organisations reimagining community provision for people drawing on care in later life. The Foundation prioritises work that is driven by collaboration in a particular place, connects the dots of care provision for people in later life and their carers, increases agency and voice of people in later life and their carers, and embeds creativity and the arts in care delivery. The Foundation seeks innovative projects that approach issues differently, with potential for wider application beyond the immediate grant. Applicants must demonstrate match-funding contributions and a commitment to capturing and sharing learnings with others. The programme values outward-facing, networked organisations that actively seek collaboration to maximise learning and impact.
Refugees and Asylum Seekers Grant Programme
The Rayne Foundation has a long history of supporting refugees and asylum seekers who have been displaced from their home countries because of conflict or persecution. The Foundation focuses on opportunities that raise aspirations and add to the positive narrative about refugees' contributions to society. They fund work that creates significant new opportunities relating to employability, entrepreneurial endeavours and personal development for refugees and asylum seekers, and uses the arts and creativity to build community between migrants and the wider community. The Foundation seeks projects that are based on different thinking, enable innovation, have potential for wider application beyond the funded proposal, and can demonstrate match-funding contributions. They value outward-facing, networked organizations that actively seek to collaborate, believing this maximizes the potential for learning to be shared and for funding to have impact beyond the immediate grant.
Children and Young People's Mental Health and Wellbeing
The Rayne Foundation's Children and Young People's Mental Health and Wellbeing programme supports projects that offer mental health and wellbeing support to children and young people and their families/carers in challenging circumstances where there is a lack of help. The programme specifically focuses on children and young people who are care experienced, on the edge of care, or leaving care, with interventions that prioritise improved mental health and well-being. Over the past five years, the Foundation has allocated over £3.2 million towards 72 projects in this area. The Foundation funds work that is based on different thinking and enables innovation, has potential for wider application beyond the funded proposal, and is informed by direct delivery with clear positive impact on people's lives. This programme is currently closed but has funded a wide range of interventions, with future funding focusing on embedding good practice and disseminating learning from funded work.
