CharityConnect: Coronavirus - List Of Emergency Funders
In 2008, foundations increased their giving in light of the need and our major charity funders have pledged to stand by us again.
Coronavirus Support
Two of the CEF Coronavirus toolkits and resources have been made available online to help everyone. For immediate actions, use the CEF Coronavirus 1 toolkit. The Coronavirus 2 toolkit, looks longer term to assess these risks, identify opportunities, and provides ideas and resources you can use to respond. There is a range of fundraising guidance and resources in the fundraising sections of each.
Funders
  1. Martin Lewis - has made £1m available to fund urgent coronavirus grants of £5k to £20k to small registered UK charities - community aid, financial advice help and more -  to help with specific UK coronavirus-related poverty relief projects. His hope is to get the money is distributed within the next couple of weeks. Applications close midnight 25 March.  Apply online. That man is an absolute star. 
  2. London Funders - has launched a £2m fund for organisations facing immediate financial pressures and uncertainty because of the coronavirus. These include increasing demands for services, higher staff absences, fewer volunteers and lower donations. The London Mayor has pledged £1m to the fund.
  3. John Lewis & Waitrose - launched a £1m Community Support Fund to be distributed by Waitrose shops to local communities, and a support fund to aid staff facing additional costs as a result of the pandemic.
  4. The National Emergencies Trust - launching an to help those most effected by the outbreak. They collaborate with charities and other bodies to raise and distribute money and support victims at the time of a domestic disaster.
  5. The Scottish Government - has announced £350m to support welfare and wellbeing, including a £20m 3rd sector Resilience Fund.
  6. Community Foundation NI - launched a Coronavirus Community Fund for community organisations emergency funding to deal with emerging issues in the community, affecting older people (aged 50 and over),
  7. Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and N'berland - launched a Coronavirus Response and Recovery Fund. Two stages: response, then recovery. Response - extra money to organisations supporting older people and other vulnerable groups. Recovery - a wider group of local charities and community organisations whose operations and finances have been affected.
  8. Suffolk Community Foundation - older people at risk (typically over the age of 70), vulnerable people with medical conditions, those that are isolated and therefore have limited support networks, those picking up extra demand – such as food banks, telephone befriending, and advice services, good neighbourhood schemes.
Funding from the Government
We fail to claim £600m in Gift Aid each year and we now need that money more than ever. Unlike funding bids, as long as you qualify, the money is certain. There are different types. Are your claiming everything you're entitled to? This Charity Excellence resource will give you what you need to get yours.
That's just one of many tax reliefs and you can claim up to 4 years retrospectively - you can find links to all of them on the Charity Excellence website tax reliefs page. Join us and complete the 30 min Finance & Resources questionnaire and it will enable you to identify all the tax and other savings there might be. The toolkit, its huge resource base and quality mark are completely free.
Can you help?
The CEF works on a community collaboration basis. Can you help me help others by adding to this resource? If so, comment below. All contributions will be credited.
With thanks to Louise Fairbrother for making this resource better for everyone.
