Funding Guidelines

The Fidelity UK Foundation will only make grants for purposes which are recognised as charitable under the law of England and Wales, as permitted by the Foundation’s Trust Deed, for example, to charities registered with the Charities Commission or exempt charities, such as certain museums. Grants may also be made to overseas bodies which have exclusively charitable objects.

The Foundation tries to ensure that grants are awarded in line with this remit, and inevitably grants will not be awarded for certain types of projects.
For examples of the type of projects that are NOT eligible please go to our Funding Restrictions page.

For a guide to the type of projects that we typically invest in please check out our Funding Priorities page, which outlines the criteria a project needs to satisfy in order to meet our investment focus.
