Grantmaking
We use grantmaking alongside our existing service delivery and policy and influencing functions to build partnerships with other organisations at a local and national level. By collaborating with others, we aim to develop and share good practice and amplify the voices of older people and the organisations working with them.
Our grantmaking portfolio
Our grantmaking portfolio comprises two strands of work:
Our COVID-19 Grants Fund
This fund is now closed for new applications.
The coronavirus pandemic changed life for everyone in the UK, but older people were among the hardest hit. From May 2020 we made 278 grants to 258 organisations that, across five rounds of funding, totalled just over £3.3 million.
You can find out more about our previous grantmaking, which supported organisations working with older people during the pandemic, on the COVID-19 Grants Fund page.
