Martin Laing Foundation

The Martin Laing Foundation was established in 1979 by Sir Martin Laing with the intention that income should be distributed for general charitable purposes. The Foundation provides grants for environmental and conservation work, social welfare projects in the UK with a particular focus on preventing or alleviating homelessness in Norfolk, Essex, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, and social welfare and cultural projects in Malta and Thailand. The Foundation primarily supports local charities through small capital grants. Grants typically range between £500 and £10,000. Please note that very few unsolicited applications to the Foundation are successful.
