Womble Bond Dickinson Foundation Community Grants
Overview
Key areas of focus and themes
Their charitable objectives at Womble Bond Dickinson Foundation are broad; allowing their trustees to identify the areas that really need support, and the flexibility to chop and change these needs over time.
Current focus
- Unlocking potential and making a difference in their own local communities. Their real focus is on improving social inclusion and making a positive impact for people (especially those from disadvantaged and diverse backgrounds)
- Responding to international emergencies; recognising the responsibility they have as world citizens
- Shrinking their carbon footprint, as they move towards a just transition to Net Zero.
Whilst these will change from time to time, the Womble Bond Dickinson Foundation is focusing on the following themes for their 2024/25 cycle:
- Climate action and environmental protection
- LGBTQ+ inclusion
- Supporting inclusion of individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds
- Increasing women's opportunities in life and work
- Disability and neurodiversity inclusion
- Mental health and wellbeing support.
Note:
Please be aware that, due to the rising levels of demand, the Foundation may receive more applications than its available funding. Therefore, they may be unable to fund all applications, even if they meet the eligibility criteria. They will always inform an eligible grant funding applicant of whether or not their application has been successful.
Who can apply?
The Womble Bond Dickinson Foundation welcomes applications from UK registered charities only. Anyone applying on behalf of a UK registered charity must state their connection to the charity and confirm they are authorised by the charity to make the application on its behalf.
They accept applications from registered charities across the UK, although will generally prioritise projects operating within their local communities. Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP has office locations in Bristol, Edinburgh, Leeds, London, Newcastle, Plymouth, Southampton and Teesside.
Funding level
The maximum grant size is £5,000.
Currently, they support only one-off grants. This may change in the future. The Foundation will only fund running costs directly associated with a project for which grant funding is being sought
