Hill Dickinson Foundation – Birmingham

The Hill Dickinson Foundation is a fund administered and managed by the Community Foundations for Lancashire and Merseyside. Hill Dickinson is an international law firm which has been headquartered in Liverpool for over 200 years. The Hill Dickinson Foundation aims to make a positive contribution to the communities in which the firm operates by supporting local grassroots organisations and projects. The fund supports community organisations with an income level of under £250,000 for projects focusing on mental health, employability (access to work), food poverty, and homelessness in the Birmingham area. Hill Dickinson prefers to fund specific projects and be the principal funder rather than a contributor towards a much larger project cost. The foundation encourages applications which pay staff at the Real Living Wage of £12 per hour as a minimum. Applications should demonstrate a real need for their project and clearly show the impact and what difference it will make to beneficiaries.
