Each year, the Asda Foundation receives a donation from Asda Stores which is used to provide grant funding to grassroots groups at the heart of communities throughout the UK. The Foundation works with In-store Asda Community Champions to award grants to the local groups that need them most.
The Asda Foundation Grassroots programme has three funding streams and applications are now accepted:
- Empowering Local Communities: initiatives to address diverse local challenges and support local initiatives for residents over the age of 18 years.
- Under 18 Better Starts: projects to tackle poverty, address inclusion and boost wellbeing for children and young people under 18 years.
- Cost of Living: support for local community groups to help with volunteer-related costs, rent/utilities expenses and food/essentials.
Charities and not-for-profit organisations based in the UK can apply grants of between £400 and £2,000.
The awards are fixed at £400, £500, £800, £1,000, £1,200, £1,600 and £2,000.
Application forms can be obtained from Asda Community Champions, who are based in local Asda stores: applicants can use the store locator link on the Asda Foundation website to get in touch with their local store and speak to their Community Champion about their project proposal.
The deadline for all applications is 8 November 2024 (but may close early if funds are depleted).
