Small grants of up to £500 are open to employees of Warrant-holding companies who are fundraising for charity. Medium grants of up to £3,000 are available for Warrant-holding companies or their team to apply for a specific item, activity or project for a charity in which they are actively involved. Match-funding is encouraged.
