Health Protection Community Grant – Coventry City Council

-----------------------------------------------------------

Rayne Foundation £ 30,000

Grants are available to charities in the UK working to bring clear and direct benefits to vulnerable and disadvantaged people in its areas of special interest.

Background

Lord Rayne, who was Life President of London Merchant Securities plc, established the Rayne Foundation in 1962. The Foundation supports charitable causes that meet new needs and help build bridges to connect people and communities.

As an independent funder, the Foundation considers an important part of its role is to support work which is untried, tests new approaches but has clear objectives. It favours work which could change the way issues are tackled in society and which could have lessons for others beyond the funded organisation.

Objectives of Fund

The Foundation's objective is to contribute to lasting social change by funding creative and collaborative approaches that build and test solutions to some of society’s most difficult challenges. The aim is to support organisations that think differently and enable innovation. This could be through introducing new methods, ideas, or products to improve services and systems.

The funding is for charitable and not-for-profit organisations across the UK for projects that fall within the foundation's chosen areas of special interest:

  • Quality of life for older people and their carers.

  • Mental health of children and young people.

  • Opportunities for refugees and asylum seekers.

Grants have typically been £10,000 to £30,000 per year but average grant sizes have been increasing over recent years. The Foundation usually makes multi-year grants.

Funding can be used for specific project costs, including salaries and a reasonable contribution to overheads and on-costs. Applications for core costs will be considered where an organisation is making a step-change in the way that it works or tackles a particular issue.

Match Funding Restrictions

Match funding is required as the Foundation is unlikely to fund a project in full.

Who Can Apply

Voluntary, statutory and for-profit organisations (including CICs and CIOs) can apply.

Organisations should be able to demonstrate:

  • Why the funding is needed.

  • How the funding will be used to unlock and overcome barriers.

  • That they are committing funding and/or support in kind from its own resources proportionate to its capacity.

Statutory organisations will need to consider how a grant will enable transformation over and above delivering statutory obligations.

For-profit organisations will need to show that charitable funding is necessary to enable transformative change.

Statutory and for-profit organisations will be expected to work collaboratively with the voluntary sector.

Restrictions

The following are not eligible for funding:

  • Work outside of the Foundation's priority areas for funding.

  • Organisations and work that do not meet the Foundation's funding criteria.

  • Day-to-day running costs of local organisations or buildings.

  • Capital, equipment or vehicle appeal.

  • Medical research.

  • Work exclusively focused on campaigning and lobbying.

  • Retrospective funding.

  • Endowments.

  • Individual use.

  • Organisations working or based outside the UK.

  • Organisations who have applied and been rejected in the past 12 months.

Eligible Expenditure

The Rayne Foundation's open grants programme is focused exclusively on its three areas of special interest.

Children and young people’s improved mental health and wellbeing – the Foundation prioritises work that:

  • Supports early childhood (0-5 years including the perinatal period) with family/carer interventions that aim to reduce the impact of early childhood trauma.

  • Supports the care-experienced, those on the edge of care, or leaving care, with interventions that prioritise improved mental health and wellbeing.

Applications for creative and artistic approaches to achieving progress in this priority area are also strongly encouraged.

Refugees and asylum seekers – the Foundation prioritises work that:

  • Creates significant new opportunities relating to employability, entrepreneurial endeavours and personal development for refugees and asylum seekers

  • Supports the mental health of survivors of torture

  • Open to arts and creative endeavours which actively encourage building community between migrants and the wider community.

Improved quality of life for people in later life and their carers – the Foundation prioritises work that:

  • Is driven by collaboration in a particular place.

  • Connects the dots of care provision for people drawing on care in later life and their carers.

  • Increases agency, voice and visibility of people in later life and their carers.

  • Embeds and sustains creativity and the arts in the delivery of care.

As well as being within one of its three priority areas, the proposed work must meet the following essential criteria:

  • Approaches issues differently and enables innovation.

  • Has potential for wider application beyond the funded proposal.

  • Is informed by direct delivery and has a clear, positive impact on people’s lives.

  • Can demonstrate match-funding contributions to the project.

And ideally the following three desirable criteria:

  • Enables and encourages collaboration between sectors and silos.

  • Develops best practice and captures learnings to share with others.

  • Adds to sector expertise and leadership.

How To Apply

Applications can be submitted at any time as this is a rolling, open grants programme with no deadlines.

There is a two-stage application process:

  • Applicants must first complete the online expression of interest form on the Foundation's website.

  • Successful expressions of interest will then be invited to complete a full application.

A typical grant application takes 4–6 months to complete.
