Overview
Barratt Redrow Foundation is a corporate foundation whose giving follows the company's sites, supporting children and young people and those most disadvantaged. The first thing to know is that its Grants Programme is not open to application: it selects prospective grant partners and invites them to apply. That closure is specific to the Grants Programme, and it is not the whole picture. The foundation's FAQs also describe a one-off £1,500 donation. The eligibility they set out is charities that operate locally to a Barratt Redrow site or divisional office, in one town or county. Those charities must be registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales or the Scottish Charity Regulator. If that describes you, the smaller route is the one to ask about.
