ASDA Foundation: Investing in Spaces and Places Grant
Grants of between £5,000 and £25,000 are available to community-led organisations hoping to improve their community spaces and places to help bring people together. Grants can be used for building/outdoor repairs, improvement, or development. Groups must raise at least 50% of the total project cost from other sources. The application process is very different to other Asda Foundation grant streams as this is an Asda Regions funding opportunity, rather than an individual store opportunity. Contact your local Asda Community Champion to discuss your project. If the local Community Champion would like to nominate your project, they will be back in touch to complete a Stage 1 Eligibility Questionnaire with you. Stage 1 will close on the 9th January 2022. Find out more here.
