Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards is giving away a further £500,000 to support charity projects that have a lasting impact on communities.

For the fourth year running, the Benefact Group is giving away £1million to charities through its Movement for Good Awards. Applications for the larger grants of £10,000 or more are open from Monday 11 July and close on Friday 5 August.

Charities supporting education and skills, rural or community development, heritage, arts or culture, climate or environment, and human rights or equality are invited to apply online at: www.movementforgood.com/largergrants

The funding can be used within three years and for a blend of project and core funding costs.

Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive of Benefact Group, said: “We understand the importance of longer-term funding for charities, especially when trying to bring ambitious new ideas to life and get larger transformative projects off the ground. Through our larger grants, we are actively championing innovation, giving charities the backing they need to propel their plans forward and turn creative ideas into practical solutions that benefit society. Benefact Group is the fourth largest corporate donor in the UK and has an ambition to be the biggest. Owned by a charity, all of its available profits go to good causes, and the more the group grows, the more the group can give. As a company whose purpose is to contribute to the greater good of society, charitable giving is at the heart of what we do.”

In June, 250 £1,000 awards were donated. A further 250 £1,000 grants will be awarded in September and a further 120 £1,000 grants will be given away in December.
