Asda Foundation grants

It depends which fund you apply to. Its main grants page lists grants of £10,000 to £20,000. Its Young Futures Fund page lists grants of £500 to £1,000, and its Foodbank Fundamentals Fund page lists grants of up to £750. We do not have a typical (median) award figure for this funder, so treat the published ranges as your guide. Its most recent Charity Commission return records £3,059,475 in grants to organisations.

Different funds cover different things. Its Young Futures Fund page describes not-for-profit groups helping improve the mental health and wellbeing of teens aged 13-18. Its Local Community Spaces Fund page describes charities, CICs and Community Benefit Societies that benefit local people. Its Charity Commission entry records purposes including the prevention or relief of poverty, education and training, the advancement of health or saving of lives, disability, amateur sport and religious activities.

This varies by fund. The Local Community Spaces Fund page names charities, CICs and Community Benefit Societies that benefit local people, and requires an annual income of between £40,000 and £400,000. The Young Futures Fund page names not-for-profit groups working with teens aged 13-18, and requires a total annual income of £250,000 or below. That page says the Foundation prioritises supporting grassroots organisations, and that the income limit is there so its funding has the greatest local impact.

Its Young Futures Fund page lists the exclusions for that fund. Organisations based outside the UK, or benefitting people and communities outside the UK. Public and government bodies, including schools and academy trusts, although PTAs can apply. Groups with a clear affiliation with a particular political party. Third party grant making organisations, because grantees must directly deliver the service or activity. Animal charities, or groups which have animal welfare as their main focus. And religious organisations whose services are only open to people of a particular faith.

Each fund has its own application window. When this page was compiled, its Foodbank Fundamentals Fund page said applications open Autumn 2026, and its Young Futures Fund page said the application window for that fund was closed. The Young Futures Fund page says that if you are successful you will be notified by email within 12 weeks. Check the funder's own website (www.asdafoundation.org) and its Charity Commission entry (charity number 1124268) for current guidance, as processes can change.
