About the Fund
The Ibrahim Foundation’s grant programme aims to fund projects that help transform communities and strengthen social infrastructure. Rather than limiting to strict themes, the Foundation supports initiatives where small amounts of funding can make a significant impact — particularly those that enhance community leadership, environmental stewardship, organisational resilience, or human services for families and disadvantaged groups.
Eligibility
- Registered charities and nonprofit organisations that operate in the UK and demonstrate credible programmes.
- Smaller local groups and community initiatives may apply if they are aligned with the Foundation’s objectives and can show impact.
Grant Details
- Grants are typically £500 – £10,000, with larger awards (up to £50,000) for extraordinary projects.
- Funding is awarded twice a year after review by the trustees and grants committee.
- The Foundation does not limit funding to narrowly defined sectors but identifies high‑impact community and social development proposals.
How to apply
- Contact the Ibrahim Foundation via their website or email to express interest and receive application guidance.
- Submit a proposal or inquiry describing the organisation, project objectives, needs, outcomes, and budget.(Specific “Applying for Grant” page suggests a structured letter of inquiry, though the Foundation’s public site does not list a dedicated online form.)
- Letters of Inquiry (LOIs) should outline project description, community need, target population, outcomes, and financial details. (no more than three pages)
- If invited, submit a full proposal with detailed narrative, budget, organisational information, and supporting documents.
