Society Foundation Micro-Grants for Employment Support Programmes

The Society Foundation offers micro-grants to programmes and organisations working to help vulnerable populations move towards paid employment. The Foundation specifically targets three groups: the recently homeless or vulnerably housed, ex-offenders, and young people aged 16-24 who are not in employment, education or training. Grants typically range up to £2,500 GBP and are available to small or growing organisations with a turnover of up to £500,000. Funding is provided for capacity building activities, including IT infrastructure and equipment, staff training and development, and external consultancy or support. The Foundation operates in the UK, USA, and New Zealand, and welcomes applications from previous grant holders once previously awarded funds have been spent. The Foundation is committed to accessibility and ensuring that all organisations can access their grant application processes.
