Small Grants Programme

The Westminster Foundation is an independent organisation representing the charitable activity of The Duke of Westminster, Grosvenor Family and Grosvenor businesses.

Grants are available towards projects that create opportunities for young people (up to 25 years old) and their families to have the resilience, skills and capacity to lead happy and healthy lives.

The Foundation believes that early positive intervention is critical to set the direction of a healthy, secure and fulfilling life and is looking to fund projects that give young people the attention, care and direction they deserve.

Grants are available for registered charities working in Chester, Westminster, and rural communities within Cheshire, Lancashire and Sutherland to create opportunities for young people (up to 25 years of age) and their families to have the resilience, skills and capacity to lead happy and healthy lives.

The aim of the Foundation’s grant programme is to provides long-term sustainable help and direction to vulnerable young lives and thereby tackling the causes and impact of inter-generational inequality.

The Foundation focusses on funding projects in Westminster and Chester, where it has long associations, and rural communities where it can be isolating and harder to access services.
