Charities supporting heritage, arts or culture, education and skills, rural or community development, and climate change or environment are invited to apply online at: www.movementforgood.com/largergrants/

The heritage, arts or culture grants are designed to support charities helping to celebrate, preserve or protect our heritage and culture.

The funding can be used within three years and for a blend of project and core funding costs.

Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive of Benefact Group, said: “We understand the importance of longer-term funding for charities, especially when trying to bring ambitious new ideas to life and get larger transformative projects off the ground. Through our large grants, we are actively championing innovation, giving charities the backing they need to propel their plans forward and turn creative ideas into practical solutions that benefit society. Benefact Group is the third largest corporate donor in the UK and has an ambition to be the biggest. Owned by a charity ourselves, charitable giving is at the heart of what we do and all of our available profits go to good causes.”

 Throughout the year, 420 charities will be awarded £1,000 donations, while 40 good causes will be awarded £5,000 via special grants aimed at helping charities in specific sectors.
