About our grants

Our grants are open to our member organisations and their staff.

You can apply for grants to help you undertake specific projects, develop new or existing services for the people you care for and their families, and to increase your expertise in the work you do.

We receive funding for the grants we provide from other charitable trusts and foundations, so specific criteria apply each year. Each programme will have its own application process, criteria, guidelines and deadline.

The criteria for each programme are agreed by the Hospice UK Governance Committee and each respective funder, taking into account any restrictions the funders may include.
