Charities, voluntary organisations, think tanks, campaigning groups, research bodies, and universities can apply for grants of between £10,000 and £200,000 for strategic work that improves living standards and personal finances, especially for low-to-middle incomes.
The abrdn Financial Fairness Trust is looking to support proposals from organisations across the UK seeking funding for policy work, campaigning, and research focused on three areas that influence financial well-being: income, spending, and assets.
These might include wages, pensions and taxation, gambling, borrowing and repayment problems, and savings. Between fifteen and twenty grants are awarded each year, and priority is given to work that focuses on younger generations. In addition, the Trust has launched a new cross-cutting funding theme, "Climate Change and Household Finances in the UK," to support the policy, research, and campaigning work of organisations working to protect and improve the household finances of people on low-to-middle incomes in the UK during the transition to Net Zero and adjustment to climate change.
The deadline for applications is 1pm on the 5th February 2025.
