Focus on a Funder ? Santander Foundation | Funding 4 Sport

The?Santander Foundation?is the latest guise of a funder that has been very active over the years, bringing together donations made via the Abbey, Alliance and Leicester, and Bradford and Bingley businesses. In the last few years it has grown considerably, in 2010 making 1,848 grants which totalled over ?4million. They have been keen to promote their work in South Yorkshire, and have attended several events to talk to local groups. They will fund registered charities, Friendly Societies, some Industrial and Provident Societies, and credit unions. They now have an upper limit of ?10,000 for grants.The Foundation are interested in two areas of work:

Education and training:?to help disadvantaged people improve their confidence in a skill, or their understanding of a subject. This does not have to be formal training or lead to a qualification (although these activities are eligible too) but could be part of lifelong learning.
Examples of possible activities include independent living skills, anger management, improving self-esteem, reminiscence projects for older people, art and craft sessions or IT classes.

Financial capability:?help disadvantaged people understand how to manage their money. It could include budgeting skills as well as managing the financial challenges that arise from being a carer, unemployment, break up of relationships, disability or ill-health.
Examples of possible activities include costs of running a credit union, delivering financial advice and helping people to understand their benefit entitlement ? any project helping people to make informed choices about their finances might meet this priority.
