Funding watch - The Peter Harrison Foundation

What is it? It was created by Peter Harrison, a retired businessman who donated 30m to set up the foundation. The foundation focuses on making a difference through education and sport.

How much is on offer? There is no set amount. Grants are based on the application. They are usually one-offs, although the foundation will provide ongoing support for a particularly worthy cause.

What will it fund? The only national programme the foundation offers grants for is Opportunities Through Sport, which provides sporting activities for people who are disabled or disadvantaged to fulfil their potential. However, the foundation also runs grant programmes for charities in the south-east of England.

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.
