Overview
The B&Q Foundation Home Improvement Grant helps registered charities across the UK to create or improve homes, so that more people in their communities have a place to feel at home. The funder says it loves working with different types of charities, as long as the project is about improving homes and the places where people live. Projects it has supported include decorating, fixing roofs, refurbishing garden space, upgrading key fixtures and fittings, and creating new buildings or rooms. You can ask for up to £10,000. The foundation offers this amount for both of its grant funds, the Home Improvement grant and the Home-Starter Kit grant. The process has three steps. First, check the grant criteria, guidance and FAQs to make sure your charity and project fit. Second, apply through Neighbourly using the link for the Home Improvement grant. Third, wait for the team to review your application and get in touch. One practical point to plan around: because of the high volume of applications, it may take up to 12 weeks after the deadline to hear the outcome. The page mentions a deadline but does not give a date, so there is no closing date to quote here. Official source: https://bqfoundation.org.uk/apply-for-a-grant/.
