Christal Foundation

The Christal Foundation aims to support community groups and charities that work to improve the lives of people in Burnley, Lancashire. The fund provides grants of up to £3,000 for community projects that may struggle to secure funding elsewhere. The foundation prioritizes seed funding and test-and-learn opportunities for smaller grassroots organisations, allowing them to develop new projects with freedom and flexibility. Priority areas include provision of seed funding for new project development, projects facing funding challenges, addressing gaps in current provision, and feasibility studies. The donor prefers to be the principal funder rather than providing match funding. All funded activity must benefit Burnley residents of any age group, with priority given to smaller grassroots organizations that find this type of funding difficult to secure.
