The Allen Lane Foundation awards grants of up to £15,00, however they are typically around £5,000 to £6,000, to small registered charities, voluntary groups, and charitable organisations that work with seven particular beneficiary groups:
- Asylum seekers and refugees
- Gypsies and travellers
- Offenders and ex-offenders
- Older people
- People experiencing mental health problems
- People experiencing violence or abuse
- Young people
The Foundation aims to fund work which:
- will make a lasting difference to people’s lives rather than simply alleviating the symptoms or current problems
- is aimed at reducing isolation, stigma and discrimination
- encourages or enables unpopular groups to share in the life of the whole community
The Foundation aims to help organisations to become sustainable, supporting running and core costs to enable them to have flexibility, security and longevity. They are interested in funding charitable causes which they believe to be unpopular both in society, and with other funders.
