Funding There is around £1m available for distribution each year, but there is no set grant. Grants are based on the application. They are usually one-offs, although the foundation will provide ongoing support for a particularly worthy cause.
Funder The fund was created by Peter Harrison, a retired businessman who donated £30m to set up the foundation.
Aim The foundation focuses on making a difference through education and sport.
Who can apply? Registered charities, community amateur sports clubs, friendly societies or industrial provident societies, and organisations in Scotland and Northern Ireland whose charitable status is recognised by HM Revenue & Customs. Two streams are open for applications: Opportunities through Sport is UK-wide while Special Needs and Care for Children and Young People is limited to the South East.
