The Leeds Building Society Foundation offers grants to UK registered charities for projects which address one or more of the following themes:

· Financial stress - projects that help with bills or debt stress.

· Security and refuge - projects that support emergency accommodation.

· Quality and suitability of housing.

· Health and wellbeing support for those experiencing homelessness.

Applications are welcome from those who take a Housing First and/or relationship-based approach. Depending on their annual turnover, UK registered charities can apply for:

· Small Capital Grants of between £250 and £1,000 to charities anywhere in the UK that have a turnover of less than £1 million for projects that support those in need of a safe and secure home.

· Large Grants of between £25,000 and £100,000 for charities with a turnover of £5 million or less to support new work or existing work and fund core, project and/or capital costs.

The Foundation has introduced a two-stage application for large grants in 2025. The first step is to submit a short expression of interest. There are three large grant and four small grant application rounds per year.
