The Fore makes grants which provide access to business expertise to help grantees achieve their goals. The Fore is the only open-access funder in the UK offering development funding and strategic support to early-stage charities and social enterprises. The Fore doesn’t have lengthy forms or restrictive criteria. 
The Fore recognise applicants as the experts in their own fields so their process simply asks you to tell them who you are, what you need and how the funding would enable you to take a step forward in your operations. The Fore match successful applicants with friendly professional support – ongoing mentoring, strategic advice, governance support or other assistance.
The Fore provides funding to UK-registered charities, community interest companies, charitable incorporated organisations and community benefit societies with annual income of less than £500,000.
Grants of up to £30,000 over one to three years
