The Foux Foundation is a UK charitable grant-making trust that supports registered charities delivering practical, hands-on help to people and communities in need. It focuses on grassroots organisations making a tangible difference through direct services and community support.
The Foundation funds a range of charitable activities with an emphasis on improving quality of life, supporting disadvantaged groups, relieving hardship and strengthening community resilience. Typical areas of support include provision of essential services, activities that reduce isolation, support for vulnerable people, and community projects meeting basic needs or improving wellbeing.
The Foux Foundation makes small to medium-sized grants (often up to a few thousand pounds) to support project delivery, activities and services directly benefiting communities in need. Funding is typically used for running costs of specific programmes, equipment, materials or support services that align with the Foundation’s priorities.
Application process & deadlines
Applications must be made in writing via the Foundation’s online form. There is no fixed annual deadline published — applications are reviewed on a rolling basis by the trustees, with decisions communicated following review.
Any specific tips to apply
Strong applications clearly explain:
-
Who will benefit and how many people will be reached
-
What difference the funding will make in practical, measurable terms
-
Evidence of need and community involvement
Because the Foundation supports practical, frontline work, applications that demonstrate real-world impact — such as improved wellbeing, reduced isolation, or better access to services — tend to resonate well with trustees.
