    The Ulverscroft Foundation supports projects that help visually impaired people. Within any group of people there will be an element of visual impairment and grants can only be considered if the VI element is significant.

    In making a decision about whether to support an application, their Trustees will take the following factors into account:

    • Sustainability
    • Value for money
    • Financial viability
    • Matched funding
    • Scaleability
    • Accessibility
    • Safeguarding
    • Monitoring and evaluation

    Your application should include at least the following:

    • Details of your current service to visually impaired people, if any, and how it will be improved or enhanced by the proposed project
    • An estimate, if possible, of how many blind and visually impaired people currently use your service, and how many will use it in the future
    • Any funding received or pledged to date for the project in question, and the names of other organisations to which you have applied
    • A copy of your latest annual report and accounts
    • Confirmation that your organisation has a safeguarding policy for vulnerable children and/or adults, as appropriate
    • Confirmation that your organisation has an equal opportunities policy

    Who can apply?

    Applications for funding can be considered from any source, UK or overseas. Applicants need not necessarily be a charity - they can be a CIC or social group.

    How to apply

    Download, complete, and return an application form from the website.

    The closing date for applications is Saturday 15 March 2025.
